Lightning really can strike twice—and one Kansas City man just proved it in the most exciting way.
After already hitting a jackpot once back in 2024, this lucky Missouri player has done it again. In March 2026, he scored a whopping $242,000 in the Show Me Cash lottery—making this his second big win.
At first, even he couldn’t believe it.
“You’ve got to be kidding me!” he said after checking his numbers.
“I couldn’t believe I won the first time… I guess anything’s possible.”
🎯 Here’s what makes this story wild:
- Second jackpot win — not something you hear every day
- $242,000 prize from matching all five numbers
- Bought at a local QuikTrip in Kansas City
- Odds of winning? A tough 1 in 575,757
Interestingly, after his first win, he thought his luck had run out. He even said he’d never win again—but still played occasionally, especially when jackpots climbed above $200,000. That strategy clearly paid off.
The winning numbers for his latest victory were:
17, 20, 25, 30, and 39
