A Missouri Lottery player in St. Louis County uncovered a $50,000 prize on a “500X Payout” Scratchers ticket purchased at Rocket, 698 Gravois Bluffs Blvd., in Fenton.

“I get all the way down to the bottom of the ticket,” the winner recalled. “It was the second one from the bottom of the card. $100 prize with a 500X symbol.”

That ‘500X’ symbol immediately multiplied his prize by 500, turning a $100 prize into $50,000.

“I might pay off my truck,” he shared. “It’s still sinking in.”

“500X Payout” players have won more than $34.4 million in prizes since the game was released in March. Currently, there are over $225.8 million in prizes unclaimed, including two top prizes of $5 million, three second-tier $1 million prizes and 45 additional $50,000 prizes.

In FY25, St. Louis County players won more than $195.9 million in Missouri Lottery prizes, retailers received more than $18.8 million in commissions and bonuses, and more than $47.9 million in Lottery proceeds went to education programs in the county.
