A Missouri Lottery player recently confirmed a $50,000 win on a "Cash Quest" Scratchers ticket. The winner, who was alone when she discovered her prize, expressed excitement and checked the ticket multiple times before asking a co-worker to verify it.
“I was by myself when I scratched the ticket. I was so excited, I checked it and rechecked it like 10 times!” the winner giggled. “Then I waited for a co-worker and had her check it, too.”
Once both were satisfied with the result, she returned to Signal in Nixa where she purchased the ticket to have it verified by the clerk.
“I took it to the clerk I bought it from and asked her, ‘Could you check this and tell me it says what I think it says?’’ she explained.
The winner plans to use her winnings for a family beach vacation. The "Cash Quest" game has awarded over $5.5 million in prizes so far, with more than $3.3 million still unclaimed.
In fiscal year 2024, Christian County players won over $10.1 million in Missouri Lottery prizes. Retailers received more than $1 million in commissions and bonuses while over $4.3 million from lottery proceeds supported education programs in the county.
