Last night was a good one for Missouri Lottery players. Several people won big, including a $3 million Lotto jackpot and a $1 million Powerball winner. No one hit the Powerball jackpot, but several players won big playing the game. Five players in Georgia, Nebraska, New Jersey, North Carolina and Missouri won $1 million by matching all five white-ball numbers. The winning ticket in Missouri was sold at Schnucks Market, 60 Hampton Village Plaza, in St. Louis. That's the second Powerball millionaire since the game change on Jan. 15.
There was also one player who matched four white-ball numbers and the Powerball to win $10,000. The winning ticket was sold at Temp Stop in Sedalia. Saturday's Powerball jackpot climbs to $310 million!
Lotto generated the biggest winner of the night. One ticket sold in Kansas City matched all six winning numbers, qualifying the lucky player holding that ticket for the $3 million jackpot. If you shop at Royal Liquor, 1301A W. 103rd. St. in Kansas City, check your tickets. You could be the 210th Lotto jackpot winner.
Those weren't the only big winners. Pick 3 players cleaned up on 7-1-1. The Missouri Lottery paid out more than $239,000 in prizes. Two players won big playing Club Keno. Winning 7-Spot tickets were sold at the following locations:
Hopefully you were one of the many winners. You've got another shot at a huge jackpot this weekend, and you can play for an $81,000 Show Me Cash jackpot tonight. Got your ticket?
We stumbled upon this interesting opinion letter in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The author talks about karma and winning a $5,000 Lottery prize. It's worth a couple of minutes of your time.
We know a thing or two about karma. Players tell us all the time that they bought an extra ticket or took a misprint just because they didn't want to upset lady luck. Here's how one streak led to a $20,000 win for a recent player.
What's your trick for pulling in good vibes?
Add Mega Millions to the list of growing jackpot. No one hit the jackpot last night, but one player in Missouri did match four white-ball numbers and the Megaball to win $10,000.

When was the last time you had a vacation in Las Vegas? The Missouri Lottery has anew Scratchers game that offers 25 trips to Las Vegas - the new $5 game, "Caesars." You can win up to $100,000 instantly on this ticket, or a trip for two to Las Vegas.
Win the "CAESARS" prize, and you'll win an all-expenses (and taxes) paid trip to Las Vegas, including: round-trip airfare, deluxe hotel accommodations at Caesar's Palace for three nights, ground transportation to and from the airport and hotel, and $1,000 in spending money.
There is no cash option for this prize, so players should expect to take the vacation. We'll send a camera with you in case anything happens that doesn't have to stay in Vegas.
Ready for a fun getaway? Ask your favorite Missouri Lottery retailer for a "Caesars" Scratchers ticket.
Show Me Cash has been creating lots of big winners. Did you know that the Missouri Lottery has awarded eight Show Me Cash jackpots in the last month? Some of them have yet to claim, so check your tickets.
There was another jackpot winner last night. One ticket sold in Independence matched all five winning numbers. If you shop at Price Chopper, 4201 S. Noland Road, you could be holding a ticket worth $70,000! Tonight's jackpot resets to $50,000.
What a weekend! The Missouri Tigers beat Kansas at Mizzou Arena for what may be the last time, and the NFL capped a pretty good season with a fun championship game. The big Powerball jackpot got even bigger, although players in Arizona, New York and North Carolina won $1 million, and players in Colorado and Florida won $2 million with Power Play.
In Missouri, one player matched four white-ball numbers and the Powerball to win $10,000. That winning ticket was sold at QuikTrip, 7200 N.E. Parvin Road, in Kansas City. Wednesday's Powerball jackpot climbs to $250 million!
There were plenty of good opportunities to play Club Keno last weekend, and one lucky player won big. A winning 7-Spot ticket with Double Bulls-Eve was sold at RG's Lounge in Independence. The winner will collect a $31,607 prize.
Don't forget about the 13 players who won $1,032 playing Lotto, the fans who enjoyed Hockey Bingo Night at the Missouri Mavericks game, or the My Lottery members who enjoyed a Monster Jam event in St. Louis.

A couple of lucky players got an early start on the weekend. Two winning Club Keno tickets were sold yesterday. Both were 7-Spot tickets with Bulls-Eye. Winners will be claiming the following prizes:

Today is Groundhog Day - 2/2/12. Does the date give you any number ideas? Pick 4 players often draw inspiration from numbers they encounter - addresses, phone numbers, birthdays, even their lunch bill. There are a lot of good dates this year to get you thinking.
The winning Pick 4 combination on Wednesday at midday was 9-7-9-9. It was an above-average payout, with players taking home more than $63,000 in prizes. Last Thursday's Midday Pick 4 winning combination was 7-3-7-3, with players winning more than $58,000 in prizes. What numbers are you playing today?
No one hit the Powerball jackpot last night, but three players in Missouri won $10,000 playing the game, and one lucky player won the $145,000 Show Me Cash jackpot. The 181st jackpot awarded in Show Me Cash goes to a player in Centertown. A ticket sold at Centertown General matched all five winning numbers to qualify for the prize.
Three Powerball players came close, matching four white-ball numbers and the Powerball to win $10,000.Winning tickets were sold in the following locations:
Tonight's Show Me Cash jackpot resets to $50,000, but the Powerball jackpot continues to grow. Saturday's Powerball jackpot is $200 million!
No one hit the Mega Millions or Show Me Cash jackpot last night. The big winner of the day was produced by Club Keno. (I might mention that 29 players did win $250 playing Show Me Cash - that probably feels pretty good.)
One player at the End Zone Sports Bar & Grill in Sedalia matched seven out of 10 spots on a 10-Spot Club Keno ticket. That would normally pay a $45 prize, but the player added Double Bulls-Eye, which bumped the prize to $363. Additionally, they played 20 shares, which means they won 20 times, or $7,260.
There's a big game coming up this weekend. Pick a location that offers Club Keno and double your fun!
Two lucky players are going on the road with the St. Louis Blues! The "You Scratch, You Score!" second-chance promotion wrapped up last week. We announced winners from the third drawing here, and some of them have already checked in on Twitter. There were more than 20,000 entries in the final drawing, with more than 90 percent being entered online through My Lottery.
We then conducted the grand-prize drawing from all of the entries and awarded two lucky players a road trip with the Blues. Winford Douglas of Richwoods and Julie Walsh of Florissant, along with a guest, will both get to travel to a road game next season. They will travel on the team plane, stay at the team's hotel and receive two tickets to the game.
Fans will get merchandise, tickets and unforgettable experiences just for playing the Lottery. By the way, there is still one top prize available in the "St. Louis Blues" Scratchers game - sure to be gone before the end of the season.
Let's Go Blues!

The Missouri Lottery has a number of exciting games to play, but none of them offer a top prize like our $20 games. The newest $20 game is "$3,000,000 Taxes Paid." Not only do you have 20 chances to win on this ticket, you could win up to $3 million taxes-paid or even a second prize of $500,000 taxes-paid.
Here's the commercial that showcases the game.
There are still large prizes available on other $20 games as well. Check out "$5,000,000 Cash Extravaganza," which still offers three top prizes of $5 million, and "$200,000 A Year For LIfe," which will pay out yearly for as long as you live. Ask your favorite Missouri Lottery retailer what $20 games they have available.
If you played Powerball in the last two weeks, you got a Bonus Raffle ticket for the "Go Anywhere Getaway" promotion. That ticket is an entry into a weekly drawing for a trip for two to anywhere in the world. The Missouri Lottery is rewarding players for trying the new Powerball game by giving away something reminiscent of winning a Powerball jackpot - the freedom to go wherever you want.
Between now and Feb. 11, we'll draw one grand-prize winner each week for a trip for two to anywhere in the world. We're currently looking for the winner from the first drawing. We'll also select five players to win a travel prize package, and 100 winners of $100.
Just buy a $2 or greater Powerball ticket for the current draw and you'll get a Bonus Raffle ticket for the next drawing. We'll announce the winners on Molottery.com, and you can scan your Bonus Raffle ticket on a Check-A-Ticket machine following the drawing.
