KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A Kansas man has won $4 million in the Missouri Lottery. Michael Schulte of De Soto hit it big after spending $20 on a scratch-off ticket at a convenience store on the Missouri side of State Line Road in Kansas City.
Schulte claimed his prize at the Kansas City Lottery office on July 25. He has the option of a 20-year annuity or a lump-sum payment of $2.6 million.
He was playing the “$4,000,000 Cash Spectacular.” He bought the ticket at the QuikTrip at 8011 State Line Road, in Kansas City.
This is not Schulte’s first winner. The Missouri Lottery Web site reports he won $1,000 earlier, also on a Missouri scratch-off ticket.
This is the third big lottery winner in Kansas in just over a week. Officials say someone in northeastern Kansas bought a one-million dollar Powerball ticket in Saturday’s drawing. And a week earlier, Nelson Worley, 43, of Osawatomie, Kansas won $1 million, after matching five numbers on a Powerball ticket.
