ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. — A man who went on a grocery run in Fenton, Missouri, brought home a life-changing lottery ticket.
The Missouri Lottery said the man, who was not identified in the release, won a $1 million prize on a "100X The Money" scratcher ticket from a Missouri Lottery vending machine at the Schnucks on Gravois Bluffs Drive.
The man told Missouri Lottery that he started scratching the $10 ticket but stopped when he saw the "100X" symbol, indicating he might be in for a big payday. He brought the ticket to his wife and let her scratch it the rest of the way.
The winner said he originally thought he had won $100, but his wife told him they had just won $1 million.
“My wife had to pinch herself to make sure she wasn’t dreaming,” he said.
“100X The Money” is a $10 ticket that debuted on Feb. 26, 2024. The top prize is $1 million, and there is one more million-dollar prize that is still unclaimed. So far, $4.4 million in prizes have been claimed from "100X The Money" and more than $30.3 million remain in unclaimed prizes.
