ST. LOUIS – One Missourian’s accidental mistake has just earned her over $100,000.
One lucky St. Louisan took a trip to the Gas Mart, located on S. Jefferson Ave., and purchased a Scratchers ticket.
“I had actually asked for a different ticket, and the clerk accidentally gave me this one,” one of the winners laughed. “I thought it was a fake ticket at first,” the winner told Missouri Lottery.
Unsure of what that sign could mean, she eventually decided to scan the ticket.
“When the screen showed ‘Claim your prize at a Missouri Lottery Office,’ I knew it was real!” she said.
According to the Missouri Lottery, those who played “Break the Bank” have won over $1.8 million. The Scratchers game—only costing $5—is fairly new, as it was released on April 28.
About $16 million in prizes remain, according to Missouri Lottery.
