Missouri Has a $250,000+ Lottery Winner Still Missing

The state of Missouri authorities are looking for something, but not because they've broken the law. It's for one of the best reasons ever as there's a missing winner of more than a quarter million dollars.

Does this Missouri gas station in Arnold look familiar to you?

The Missouri Lottery says that someone stopped in this place in Arnold on Monday, August 10, 2026 and picked up a Show Me Cash ticket with the following numbers:

4-12-23-24-37

That winning ticket is now worth $228,000, but no winner has claimed it more than a week later as it's now listed on the Missouri Lottery Unclaimed Lottery site. That's a boatload of money that is waiting on...someone.

How much would a $228,000 Missouri Lottery ticket be worth after taxes?

• Gross Prize: $228,000
• Federal Withholding (24%): -$54,720
• Missouri State Withholding (4%): -$9,120
• Immediate Check Amount: $164,160

Does the tax man deserve more than $60,000 of your hard-earned Missouri Lottery winning prize? I vote no, but that's the way it goes. While everyone's tax situation will be different, the take home amount of $164,000 is a huge surprise payday. That means if you stopped by that Arnold, Missouri gas station and bought a ticket, time to find it and check it now before it gets lost and you cry over a huge payday missed.
