Missouri Woman Wins Free Lotto Ticket And Hits $1.8 Million Jackpot
$5,000 Welcome Bonus
A Missouri woman is a million dollars richer after purchasing a lottery ticket in St. Louis County.
According to the official Missouri Lottery website, a Missouri woman matched all six numbers in the November 24 Lotto drawing. With the six matching numbers, she won the $1.8 million jackpot and another free ticket.
The Lotto ticket was bought from Phillips 66 on West 5th Street in Eureka.
"I went into the Phillips 66 station I bought it at and checked it on the ticket checker," she told the Missouri Lottery. "I saw, 'You won a free ticket and $1.8 million.' I wish I would have had a camera on my face!"
The lucky woman double-checked her ticket to make sure she had actually won, then went to her car to check one last time on the Missouri Lottery's mobile app.
After triple-checking, she called her husband to tell him that she had won nearly $2 million.
