Lottery player was ‘killing time’ before a meeting. Then, she wins big in Missouri
Rather than grab a coffee or go for a walk before a meeting, a Missouri woman decided to test her luck.
“I was killing time,” the woman told officials. “I had a meeting to go to and was early…”
She made a pit stop at a convenience store in Cameron and purchased a crossword scratch-off ticket.
When she scratched off the ticket, she was in for a surprise. She had won $100,000, Missouri lottery officials said in a July 11 news release.
“It was a surprise, to say the least,” the winner said. “It was a wonderful surprise.”
She won the first of seven top prizes in the Missouri Lottery’s “20X Crossword” game, according to officials.
Cameron is about a 50-mile drive northeast from Kansas City.
