Festus gas station clerk gifted winning lottery ticket

FESTUS, Mo. – A man in Festus bought two Missouri Lottery Show Me Cash tickets and gave one of them to the store clerk. The one he gave away ended up being a big $384,000 jackpot winner.

The clerk apparently didn't give a lot of thought to that ticket until the next day.

She told lottery officials she went to work, leaving the ticket at home. Her boss told her their store sold the winner. She called her mom and had her check the numbers – and bingo!

“Yeah, I’d be stunned and mad at myself, ‘I should have given her the other one,’” said customer Michael Shumate. “She’s got some good luck now.”
