$1.2M Jackpot at Small Missouri Gas Station Shocks Town

I didn't accomplish much this past Saturday other than watch it rain. Someone else in Missouri made a much better use of their time as they just won $1.2 million dollars after a stop at a tiny gas station. It doesn't seem like they realize it yet, though.

Does this convenience store in Perryville, Missouri look familiar to you?

This is the Perryville Motomart located at 1300 S. Perryville Blvd in Perryville, Missouri. According to the Missouri Lottery, someone stopped by this gas station on Saturday, July 26 and walked out with a whopper of a winning lotto ticket worth a life-changing $1.2 million dollars.

If you picked up a lotto ticket from this Missouri gas station with the number 5, 9, 16, 23, 31 and 32,  you just became a millionaire.

How much take home is a $1.2 million dollar Missouri Lottery ticket worth?

Tax Act says that the estimated taxes out of that kind of lotto winning would amount to a stunning $336,000, but you'd take home a lump sum of $864,000 approximately. Don't know about you, but I'd be willing to cough up that much money to take home that kind of cash. Yes, sir. You can put that bag of money right over here. Sadly, that's just my imagination talking. For one very lucky Missouri person, it's now their reality.
