A couple recently secured a $100,000 win from a “$3 Million Supreme” Scratchers ticket with the help of the Missouri Lottery website. The husband used the site to select their game, and they bought the $30 ticket at QuikTrip, located at 3551 Highway Point Drive in Rolla.

“The website is great for helping us pick tickets,” the wife explained. “We pull it up on the iPad, and we’ll go through it together to look for which ticket he wants.”

After purchasing the ticket, she scratched it off and initially thought they had won $5,000 based on the symbols she saw. Her son quickly realized that they had actually won much more.

“He kept saying, ‘Look at the numbers!’” she recounted. “My husband was going crazy, and we had to get the calculator out to figure out how much we won!”

The couple eventually calculated their winnings to be one of three $100,000 prizes available in this game. “We were very excited!” she added.

To date, players of “$3 Million Supreme” have claimed over $21.5 million in prizes. Currently, there are more than $88 million in unclaimed prizes remaining in this game, including two top prizes of $3 million and another $100,000 prize.

In Phelps County during fiscal year 2024, Missouri Lottery players won over $8.6 million in total prizes. Retailers earned more than $843,000 in commissions and bonuses while education programs benefited from over $1.7 million in appropriated lottery proceeds.
