There's good news in Missouri over the past 7 days. First, the good news. There have been at least a half dozen Powerball winners. The bad news? Not one of them has come forward so far to claim their big cash winnings.

I feel a tad bit hypocritical being the messenger of this as I never play any kind of lottery games. I have nothing against those that do, but it's my choice and I'm not changing my mind. I do, however, tend to pay attention to those who end up on the winning end of Missouri Lottery tickets.

Here's what I saw on the Missouri Lottery Unclaimed Prizes page a few minutes ago (as of the time of this writing) that made me think my eyes were freaking out on me. Since December 15, 2025, there have been 6 Powerball winners who won $50,000, but don't seem to be aware of it.

Note that it's entirely possible that more than one of these individuals has now come forward and claimed their $50,000 depending on when you're looking at this, but this is the unusually long list of unclaimed Missouri Lottery prizes as of when I'm looking at it. If these prizes are now spoken for, awesome. I would just hate to not pass along the word and have someone lose one of these winning tickets before they realize they're a winner. $50,000 is not necessarily life-changing, but it sure would help many in this challenging world where many are struggling.
