She grabbed a calculator and tallied up a “series of prizes” worth $50,000, lottery officials said in a Nov. 18 news release.
The woman from Bonne Terre confirmed her total winnings, then shared the good news with her husband.
“He didn’t believe it either,” she told officials. “He went back into the store to scan the ticket to make sure we won!”
The woman plans to spend some of the winnings on a vacation the couple had planned.
Bonne Terre is about a 60-mile drive southwest from St. Louis.
