Man wins $1 million lottery prize in Blue Springs

BLUE SPRINGS, Mo. — A man hit the jackpot at a Kansas City area price chopper when he won a $1 million from a lotto ticket.

The Missouri Lottery player used his spare change to buy a lottery ticket at the Price Chopper on 7 Highway in Blue Springs.

“I was picking up a few things and got some change back, so I went to the machine and bought a Lotto ticket,” he said.

He was looking over his ticket the day after the drawing when he noticed a message he had not seen before.

“I was scanning the ticket with the app, and it was an odd response,” the player said. “It just said that I’ve won and to check with a retailer.”

He then told his wife he was going to have his ticket checked. They verified the numbers and he said he was stunned.

“I was just shocked,” he said. “I’ve never won something like that.”

His ticket matched all six winning numbers – 3, 9, 15, 27, 33 and 35 – to win the jackpot prize.
