Once again, a player in another state has won $1 million by adding Power Play to their Powerball purchase. In Missouri, we had three players match four white-ball numbers and the Powerball to win $10,000. The winning tickets were sold at the following locations:
The Powerball jackpot for Saturday is an estimated $80 million!
We also had another big Club Keno winner this week. A player who buys ticket at Binford's Bar & Grill in St. Peters won nearly $11,000.
The Halloween Costume contest is starting to get good. Check out the photo stream on flickr, and you'll agree - we've got some creative Lottery players. If you have plans of donning garb this weekend for some spooky fun, take a picture and enter it by Nov. 5. We'll let you choose the best, and we'll award the top five a prize package including $50 in Scratchers tickets. Check here for the rules.
Have a good weekend, and Happy Halloween!
I don't think think it's a full moon, but there could be some spirits afoot. You may not have noticed, but triples came up in Pick 3 last night. Pick 3 players sure did. We paid out more than $400,000 in prizes, which was more than 400 percent of sales on the combination 4 - 4 - 4.
Pick 4 players also cashed in. On the 80th anniversary of the stock market crash that led to the Great Depression, we paid out more than 300 percent on the winning combination of 1 - 9 - 2 - 9.
Today's Midday Pick 3 winning combination was 1 - 4 - 4, and Pick 4 was 7 - 7 - 4 - 7. Any guesses as to what's next?
We had a big winner in Lucky Dough. A player who buys tickets at Donties in Wentzville won more than $50,000.
Another player matched all five white-ball numbers in Powerball last night to win $200,000. The winning ticket was sold at KK, LLC in Sedalia. The Powerball jackpot for Saturday is an estimated $53 million.
There were a few big winners in Missouri this weekend. Two players will split the $50,000 Show Me Cash jackpot for Friday. Tickets purchased at the following locations matched all five numbers to receive a share of the prize:
Tonight's Show Me Cash jackpot is an estimated $60,000.
There were two big Club Keno prizes awarded. A ticket sold at Tattooed Lady Bar & Grill in Moscow Mills won more than $5,000, and a player won $11,523 at the New Runaway Lounge in Kansas City.
No one hit the Powerball jackpot, although a player in Colorado used Power Play to win $1 million. A player who buys tickets at Mobil 401 on Osage in Pacific matched four white-ball numbers and the Powerball to win $10,000. The Powerball jackpot for Wednesday is an estimated $41 million.
