A lucky Holden resident just scored big—winning a $114,000 jackpot in the Show Me Cash drawing on October 11! But instead of rushing to splurge, she’s taking her time to decide how to use her newfound fortune.
“I’m still figuring out what I’m going to do with it,” she said with a laugh. “My kids think I need a new car—which I probably do. I’ve also thought about giving to the Food Bank. We can always use that.”
The winning ticket was bought at Break Time on Olive Street in Holden, turning an ordinary stop into a life-changing moment.
For those feeling inspired, Show Me Cash drawings happen every night at 8:59 p.m., with jackpots starting at $50,000 and climbing higher until someone wins. In fact, tonight’s jackpot sits at an estimated $384,000!
Johnson County has been on quite the lucky streak. In fiscal year 2025 alone, players won more than $5 million in Missouri Lottery prizes, while local retailers earned over $510,000 in commissions and bonuses, according to the Missouri Lottery.
Whether she decides to donate, upgrade her ride, or just enjoy the win, this Holden woman’s story is a reminder that one small ticket can make a big difference—and maybe even help others along the way.
