Missouri Lottery celebrates ‘America 250’

The Missouri Lottery has launched the “America 250” Scratchers ticket to commemorate 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

“Happy Birthday, America! We got you something,” said Lester Elder, executive director of the Missouri Lottery. “This dazzling, patriotic themed Scratchers ticket is one of the best looking games we’ve every offered. Plus, there are top prizes of $250,000 just waiting to be uncovered on this special edition ticket.”

The $10 game, which also offers thousands of $250 prizes, can currently be purchased at Missouri Lottery retail locations statewide. It will also make a special appearance at events like Jefferson City’s Salute to America and the Missouri State Fair in Sedalia later this summer.

Through August 18, the tickets can be entered into the “Red, White and Blue” second-chance summer promotion for a chance to win up to $30,000, taxes paid.

“The Missouri Lottery is honored to pay tribute and help celebrate the country’s 250th milestone anniversary in this way,” Elder concluded.
