A Dekalb County woman recently claimed a $100,000 top prize from a Missouri Lottery scratch-off ticket after a stroke of luck led her to double-check her results.

The winning ticket was sold at SBJ Fuels, located at 1202 N. Walnut St. in Cameron.

The windfall was nearly missed, as the player did not initially notice a matching number while scratching the ticket. It was only after she used the Missouri Lottery app to scan the ticket that she realized she had actually won the game’s top prize.

The winner traveled to the Missouri Lottery regional office in Kansas City to officially claim her winnings on Jan. 20.
