While checking the winning Show Me Cash numbers, A Missouri Lottery player was surprised to learn his handpicked numbers – 1, 4, 12, 22 and 32 – had matched all five winning numbers to win a jackpot prize. The winning ticket, purchased at Parr Family Pawn, 720 Kennett St. in Kennett, was one of two winning jackpot tickets sold for the Dec. 23 drawing.
“It was a nice surprise,” the winner shared.
He and the other winning ticket holder (who bought their ticket in Kansas City) split the $102,000 jackpot equally.
“I’ll still be going to work every day. I wasn’t lucky enough to get one of the big ones,” the winner teased.
“I’m happy to win!” he added.
Show Me Cash is drawn daily at 8:59 p.m., with jackpots that start at $50,000 and grow until won. Tonight’s jackpot is estimated at $73,000.
