Rainy Day Purchase Leads to $50,000 Scratchers Prize

Mar. 22, 2023

A Missouri Lottery player’s rainy day purchase of a “Fruit Loot” Scratchers ticket resulted in him winning a $50,000 top prize.

“I just kind of freaked out a little bit,” he laughed. “I had to ask my friends if I was reading it right!”

He purchased the top prize-winning “Fruit Loot” Scratchers ticket at 7th Heaven, 1312 S. Baltimore St., in Kirksville.

“It couldn’t have come at a better time,” he shared, adding that he plans to use some of the $50,000 prize to purchase a new vehicle.

“Fruit Loot” is a $3 game that currently offers over $8.1 million in unclaimed prizes, including three other top prizes of $50,000. 

In FY22, players in Adair County won more than $3.1 million in Missouri Lottery prizes, retailers received over $314,000 in commissions and bonuses, and more than $5.2 million in Lottery proceeds went to education programs in the county.
