Truxton couple win $2 million in Missouri Lottery Quick Draw game

“It’s not every day we come across money like that,” exclaimed Karen Burr, 61, while claiming a $2 million Missouri Lottery Lotto jackpot with her husband, Ron, 53.The Truxton couple purchased their winning Lotto ticket from Victory Lane, in Troy, on Dec. 2. The couple used Quick Pick to correctly match all six numbers drawn in the Dec. 2 drawing — 12, 23, 25, 34, 40 and 42 — and will split the $4 million jackpot with another winning ticket holder, each taking home $2 million before taxes.While claiming their $2 million prize on Dec. 28, Karen, who has played the Lotto Draw Game since it was introduced in 1986, said that she discovered the couple’s good fortune the day after the drawing while checking her tickets for winning numbers at MOLottery.com,“I thought I kept entering in something wrong. I would go back and keep looking at (the numbers) three or four times. Then I called him in to read the numbers off to me,” she recalled. “We checked quite a few times, and we were thinking there was some kind of mistake. Needless to say, neither of us slept that night.”For selling one of the winning Lotto jackpot tickets for the Dec. 2 drawing, Victory Lane received a $2,500 selling bonus.
