Lottery winner was ‘jumping up and down.' But he wasn't done scratching ticket
Thanks to his love for the Monopoly board game, a Missouri man is now a lottery jackpot winner.
'I'm a sucker for anything Monopoly,' the winner told Missouri Lottery officials after accepting his prize in the Monopoly Doubler game.
He said he was at a Midwest Petroleum in Ballwin when he spotted just a few tickets left on the game's roll. After consulting with his wife, he bought the remaining tickets.
'We were scratching the last ticket and saw a $20,000 prize,' the winner told lottery officials in a May 1 news release. 'I was jumping up and down. I was so excited to win!'
But $20,000 wasn't all he won.
Turns out, he won one of the game's top prize of $100,000.
'After we calmed down a bit, my wife said, 'Maybe we should finish scratching it!'' he said. 'That's when we found out we won $100,000!'
There are three jackpot prizes remaining in the game, which costs $5 to play.
Ballwin is about a 20-mile drive west from St. Louis.
