Shell Knob man wins big
May 20, 2020
William Davis of Shell Knob stopped at White Oak Station, located at 1225 Ridgedale Road in Ridgedale, before going to work. But instead of purchasing the $5 and $10 Missouri Lottery Scratchers tickets he usually buys, Davis chose a $20 game - "$5 Million Big Money." He scratched the ticket in his truck and uncovered a $100,000 prize.
“It blew me away. I was speechless,” Davis shared. “I’ve never known anyone to win the huge money.”
Once it sunk in that he had won, he shared the good news with his family via a Facebook chat.
Davis summed it up with a simple, “Wow, it is real!”
More than $18.3 million in unclaimed prizes remain in the “$5,000,000 Big Money” Scratchers game. All current Missouri Lottery Scratchers tickets can be scanned on the Lottery’s mobile app and on Check-A-Ticket machines at retail to determine if a ticket is a winner.
In the most recent fiscal year, players in Taney County, where the winning ticket was sold, won more than $11.5 million in Missouri Lottery prizes. Retailers received more than $1 million in commissions and bonuses, and an additional $1.5 million went to education programs in the county.
