Official release
A Quick Pick ticket for the Sept. 8 Mega Millions drawing resulted in a $100,000 prize for a pair of Missouri Lottery players in central Mercer County. They purchased the winning ticket at Casey’s, 21649 Highway 65, in Princeton.
“We thought we had won maybe $500 or something,” one of the winner’s shared.
After taking a closer look, his girlfriend realized the true value of the ticket. Not only had they matched four out of five white-ball numbers, but they had also matched the Mega Ball number for a base prize of $10,000. However, because the Mega Millions built-in multiplier on their ticket was 10X, the base prize automatically increased from $10,000 to $100,000.
“We’ve never won this much before on the Lottery!” the boyfriend exclaimed.
