A powerball player won $50,000 in Missouri Lottery 

A powerball player won $50,000 after purchasing a ticket at the Schnucks Market on Arsenal Street in St. Louis. 

The ticket distributor will get $2000 for selling the winning Scratch-Off ticket. 

She tells Missouri Lottery officials that she had the numbers picked randomly but they matched up with some significant dates in her life.

"Two of the lucky numbers were my daughter’s birthday,” the player explained.

"I just said, ‘I hope nobody touches this Bible!’” she joked with lotto officials.

The chances of winning the $50,000 prize by playing Powerball are one in 913,129. Taking home the jackpot is slightly more difficult.
