Show-Me State Times

A Missouri Lottery player has claimed a $100,000 prize after purchasing a “$3 Million Supreme” Scratchers ticket at Express Mart located at 518 S. Main St., in De Soto. The winner recounted the moment of discovery, stating, “Something about that one stood out.”

Before leaving the store, the player scanned the ticket to confirm the win. “At first, I thought there was something wrong with the ticket,” he said. “I scanned it several times!” Once assured of his win, he expressed difficulty in containing his excitement: “The whole store knew I won!” he laughed.

The "3 Million Supreme" game has already awarded more than $22 million in prizes to players. However, over $87.5 million in prizes remain unclaimed, including two top prizes of $3 million and another $100,000 prize.

In Fiscal Year 2024, players from Jefferson County won over $40.6 million through Missouri Lottery games. Retailers received more than $3.9 million in commissions and bonuses during this period, while education programs in the county benefited from more than $2.7 million in lottery proceeds.
