A Missouri Lottery player won the first $100,000 top prize on a “$100,000 Jackpot” Scratchers ticket after purchasing the new game ticket at 7th Heaven convenience store, 104 West Helm Street in Brookfield.
The Missouri Lottery reports after the man uncovered a prize on the first number, he knew it was a winner. But he didn’t realize how much he’d won until he revealed the rest of the ticket. So he continued with the scratch-offs.
