In Wentzville, Missouri, a lucky lottery player scored a $70,000 jackpot by playing the Show Me Cash game ticket bought at Save A Lot on 715 W. Pearce Blvd.
The winner revealed that they occasionally purchase Show Me Cash tickets while grocery shopping. This time, the Quick Pick ticket they bought for the June 13 drawing matched all five winning numbers – 7, 17, 19, 26, and 35.
Describing their experience, the winner said, “I walked around for like three weeks with the ticket in my pocket. To me, it’s fun, and I didn’t check it.”
State-run games usually have the odds in favor of the house, ensuring profitability for the organizers. The rules, odds, and prize structures of different lottery games affect the chances of winning.
Normally, the likelihood of winning a prize, even a small one, is higher than hitting the jackpot.
