Four $5 Tickets Lead to $100,000 Scratchers Win in Ozark

A $5 Scratchers ticket bought in Ozark produced a $100,000 top-prize win for a Missouri Lottery player from Christian County, turning a planned $20 ticket purchase into a four-ticket purchase that included one of the game’s top prizes.

The winning ticket was purchased at Maverik, 305 W. South St., in Ozark. The player bought four tickets at $5 each, matching the amount originally intended for the lottery purchase.

One of those tickets was a $500 Frenzy Scratchers ticket. The player reported revealing multiple $10,000 amounts while scratching it before determining that the ticket was worth $100,000.

After discovering the prize, the player contacted her husband. He verified the result by scanning the ticket through the Players Club app, providing confirmation of the winning ticket after the initial discovery.

The couple planned to use some of the winnings for home repairs. They also planned to use part of the prize to help others, according to the Missouri Lottery’s account of the win.

$500 Frenzy is a $5 Scratchers game with top prizes of $100,000. The game officially started on Dec. 29, 2025, placing the Ozark purchase within the game’s first year of availability.

The game page lists average winning chances of 1 in 4.12, including $5 prizes. That figure covers the game’s listed prizes, including wins that return the price of a ticket, rather than describing the likelihood of winning the $100,000 top prize.

The $500 Frenzy game page lists four $100,000 prizes. It also lists zero unclaimed $100,000 prizes at the time of the page update. Readers looking for current Missouri draw information can check the latest Missouri lottery results page.
