Jeffrey Ford, from Adrian made the best decision ever when he bought some lottery tickets on his way to a baseball game after later finding out they were worth $136,000 following a split with another lottery winner. Ford, was making his way to the ballpark when he decided to stop at Casey’s general store to buy a few drinks for the game as well as gas, but then he had the thought of buying a few lottery tickets since he was there because why not? It turned out, that his Quick Pick ticket with the Missouri Lottery matched up all five numbers which were: 2, 17, 22, 30 and 34 – the jackpot was originally worth $272,000, however another player from St. Charles also matches these same numbers so they prize was halved between them. 

Don Feger, from Mexico followed his gut all the way to a $342,000 prize with the Missouri Lottery and he sure is thankful. Feger, walked in to a local retailer to find out if there had been any recent lottery winners – to his surprise the clerk told him that he’d heard that a store down the road had recently sold a ticket worth a significant sum. Instantly, through hearing this his gut told him to check the 6 tickets he’d bought and hadn’t checked yet – and would you have guessed, the third one in that brought up the message “Claim at Lottery Office”. The winning ticket was a “The Show Me Cash” ticket which he purchased at East Edge Express which is located at 4787 E. Liberty street in Mexico and matched all the five numbers which were: 13, 23, 24, 30 and 34. 

A man, 22 from Michigan was not expecting his interesting strategy to result in a life-changing event of a $2 million prize with the Michigan lottery!

He was at the Busatti Party store which is located at 12868 Eureka Road, in Southgate when he decided to buy a Diamond Dazzler ticket which is his favourite game, however before purchasing he made sure to ask the clerk what number the ticket was – and it turned out to be 21 so, naturally it was perfect for him. Right after purchasing, he scratched off the ticket straight away in store and once he saw that the numbers matched up he looked at both the store clerk and his friend before running out to his car with joy.

However, his luck did not end here as he also had a Megaplier number of four which quadrupled his prize amount! 

In an unusual chain of events, some spare charge in the pocket led to the most unexpected gift for a couple from Bonne Terre. It was back at the start of May, when Gerald and Norma Rokan were travelling home from church and decided to stop off at a store on the way, the store was Chuck and BJ’s which is located at 919 Benham Street in Bonne Terre. Whilst there, Rokan picked up a few Powerball Quick Pick tickets after discovering he had a spare five and a single, however just as the lady was getting the tickets out – he found that he had another $2 in his pocket which might as well be spent on taking another chance on winning as this seemed like an indicator! And sure enough, later on he realised that the fourth ticket he bought matched up all 5 white ball numbers which was worth $1,000,000 in winnings!
