ST. PETERS, Mo. — The St. Louis area has another millionaire—and they might not even know yet about their windfall.

Someone matched all six numbers in Wednesday night’s Missouri Lotto drawing. The jackpot was $1.7 million.

The numbers are: 1-3-8-41-42-44

The ticket was bought at Cool Spot Liquor, 4125 S. Old Highway 94 in St. Peters.

“Congratulations to the newest winner of ‘Missouri’s Millionaire Game!’” said May Scheve Reardon, executive director of the Missouri Lottery. “If you’re the one who bought this winning ticket, please sign the back of it and keep it in a safe place until you can come in to claim your prize.”

The winner has until July 22, 2019 to claim their prize. If he or she claims it within 60 days, they’ll get to choose between two options: receiving the prize in one lump-sum payment, which is approximately half of the jackpot, or receiving the full amount in 25 yearly payments.

If the winner doesn’t claim the prize within 60 days, the payment automatically switches to the yearly option.

The jackpot now rolls back to $1 million for Saturday’s drawing.
