“I think it’s about time for me to retire,” said the speaker from Franklin County, Missouri. “I’m a few years overdue for it.”
After winning a $3 million top prize on a scratchers game, a woman from Franklin County, Missouri, is more than prepared to enter her golden years.
The $3,000,000 Spectacular ticket that won the game was bought by her from K’s Kwik Korner located at 1213 Gravois Road in St. Clair.
“I had a feeling to buy the $30 ticket,” she shared, mentioning that she typically opts for the cheaper games.
After sharing the good news, the player continued with the rest of her day and even made it to work.
As she recounted the experience, she shared that she had gone to the human resources department seeking help. To her surprise, the person she spoke with reacted with disbelief at her ability to still stand given the situation. She recalled holding out her hands, which were trembling uncontrollably at the time.
The Missouri Lottery has launched the $3,000,000 Spectacular, a $30 scratchers game that offers players a chance to win big. With a 1 in 2.64 average chance of winning, players can take home a minimum payout of $30 by matching any of their numbers to the winning numbers. It’s worth noting that only one $3 million top prize is still up for grabs. Players can increase their chances of winning even more by entering their eligible tickets into their My Lottery Players Club accounts. By doing so, they’ll be entered into the monthly “Scratch Big, Win Big!” drawing for a chance to win $500 in cash.
