Whoever said lightning doesn’t strike twice wasn’t paying attention to what happened on opposite sides of Missouri this week as two mystery winners appeared simultaneously in completely different places.
According to the Missouri Lottery, there were two people on June 3, 2026 that picked up Powerball tickets that ended up being winners. One was at the QuikTrip, 4646 S. St. Peters Parkway in St. Peters.
The other mystery winner came from the Price Chopper, 9717 N. Ash Avenue in Kansas City, Missouri.
The winning numbers on that day were 14-16-38-55-64 with a Powerball of 12. As of right now, both winners remain unidentified and are featured on the Missouri Lottery’s Unclaimed Prizes page.
How much money do both of these winners have the chance to take home?
Everyone’s tax situation is unique, but most online lottery tax calculators will say that a $50,000 Missouri Lottery win will result in take home (after taxes) in a lump sum of around $36,000. Note that I am neither a mathematician or accountant and can barely dress myself in the morning, so don’t take my advice when it comes to pretty much anything, but especially finances…
