FLORISSANT, Mo. – A Missouri Lottery player won the top prize of $100,000 from a $5 “Money Rush” Scratchers ticket.
The lucky winner bought the ticket in Florissant during a stop at Dunn Road Mart, located at 3555 Dunn Road. When scratching the ticket, it took her a moment to register the feeling.
“At the present time, I didn’t realize I had won,” she explained. “I had to pinch myself to make sure it was real.”
After a few days went by, the feeling finally sank in for the lucky winner, and she got excited.
“I told (a family member) about it,” she said. “And I set aside some money for him.”
