Smithville Texaco T-Mart sells winning $100K lottery
ticket
A man, who wishes to remain anonymous, had a lucky day
last week after winning $100,000 from a $5 lottery ticket
sold at Texaco T-Mart. The man was playing a Mississippi
Blues scratch-off ticket, and the winning number was
revealed after he scratched off the last box.Get more

“I was up here cashing some of them in, and he came in
and handed me three tickets and I asked, ‘What are you
going to do with that one you’ve got in your hand?’ and
he said, ‘I’m going to Jackson in the morning,’ and I
said, ‘What about the one in your hand?’ He turned it
around and showed me, and it was number 39 $100,000, and
I was like, ‘Dang,’” said store manager Mandi Kemp.
“I was excited for him but I was excited we sold it
too.According to Mississippi Lottery Corporation
Communications Director Meg Annison, he is the second
person in the state to win $100,000 since the lottery
began Nov. 25. He was the first player to win a $100,000
payout from the Mississippi Blues scratch-off game. The
other person won from the $100,000 Jackpot game.
“In the Mississippi Blues game, there are four of those
top prizes and there are still three more $100,000 prizes
in that particular game,” she said Monday morning. “We
keep games open until all the top prizes are paid.
When the lottery launched in November, there were four
games, and Mississippi Blues was in the second round of
games released. Last week, the third round of games was
released.
“It’s great to see winners from across the state. A lot
have people have said, ‘Well, there’s only been winners
here’ or ‘There’s only been winners there,’ but it’s
a gamble how the winners are spread out,” Annison
said.Following the man’s win, Kemp asked if it was okay
to tell people about selling the ticket, which was
limited to just telling locals. It didn’t take long for
the news to spread.
“It was all day Friday and all day Saturday. We’re
proud of it,” Kemp said of an increase of business.
“We’ve even had some from Georgia Saturday.”Before
last week’s big win, the largest lottery prize
Smithville Texaco T-Mart cashed in was $500, and that
ticket was sold in Amory.
Kemp said the store sells several lottery tickets every
day, and last week’s big winner has been and continues
to be a regular customer.According to the state
lottery’s website, the approximate odds of winning
something on a Mississippi Blues ticket are 1:3.91.
