Man’s Chinese food craving leads to $3M lottery win
JEFFERSON COUNTY, Mo. – It's customary to get frustrated when your lunch plans are derailed. That was not the case for one Missouri Lottery player, whose cravings led to a multi-million dollar jackpot.
“I was on my way to get lunch at a Chinese restaurant, and I saw that store,” the winner said. “I’d never played at that store before, so I thought I would try it.”
He stopped at the Circle K on Industrial Drive in Cedar Hill and purchased a $3 Million Supreme scratchers ticket.
Back in his truck, the man scratched off the first space and discovered a $100,000 prize. After scratching off all the spaces, he realized he'd matched enough winning numbers to claim the game's top prize of $3 million.
“Everything at that point was just a blur,” he said. “Needless to say, I didn’t make it to lunch!"
