Mystery Million-Dollar Winner at Missouri Gas Station

Someone made a stop for gas at a station in Missouri a few days ago then made another decision that changed their life. They picked up a ticket that is now worth a cool million dollars, but they don't seem to know it yet.

This is the Edison Express located at 158 Long Road in Chesterfield, Missouri

The Missouri Lottery says someone stopped by this convenience store/gas station on Saturday, October 18 and made the fateful decision to pick up a Powerball ticket. The numbers that day were 3, 11, 27, 40, 58 with a Powerball number of 10. Those numbers resulted in a winning ticket now worth $1,000,000, but the Missouri Lottery says it's still unclaimed. Whoever this lucky winner is has until April 16, 2026 to come forward and claim their winnings.

How much would the take home be from a million dollar Missouri Lottery prize?

I'm not an accountant or any kind of financial expert to say the least nor do I offer any money advice, the an online lottery tax calculator estimates the take home from a million dollar Missouri lottery win would be around $641,000. Is that a huge tax chunk? Yes, it is. Would I love to be the person that has to figure out what to do with $641,000? Absolutely. Bring it on.
