A Missouri Lottery player won $1 million after matching all five white-ball numbers in the April 20 Powerball drawing.
The winning ticket was purchased at Casey’s, 513 N. Elm St. in Mountain View. The winning number combination was 9, 17, 36, 47 and 64. The Powerball number was 26.
The winner, whose identity is protected by Missouri privacy laws, told Lottery officials she has played the same set of meaningful numbers for years.
“I chose my numbers quite a while ago, and I just stick with those same numbers all along,” she said.
The winner said she is taking time to decide what to do next.
“I’m going to let it sink in for a while,” she said. “I’m not in a hurry.”
According to Missouri Lottery officials, fiscal year 2025, players in Howell County won more than $7.7 million in Lottery prizes, retailers received more than $645,000 in commissions and bonuses, and more than $459,000 in Lottery proceeds went to educational programs in the county.
