A Missouri woman mightn’t believe her prize following playing a new lottery scratch card.
The woman has the Frogger Scratchers Game with the new arrivals at a store in Perryville, according to a Missouri Lottery news release. So she decided to give it a try.
“I love playing the Scratchers, and this was one of the new ones,” she told lottery officials.

After looking at the winning amount, she said she mightn’t believe it.
“I thought I must have read it wrong! I was shocked!” she said.
The woman won the top prize of $100,000.
The game still has $2.8 million in unclaimed prizes, according to lottery officials.
Many people can gamble or play games of chance without harm. However, for some, gambling is an addiction that can destroy lives and families.
If you or a loved one is showing signs of gambling addiction, you can seek help by calling the national gambling hotline at 1-800-522-4700 or visit the National Council on Problem Gambling website.
