St. Cloud Resident Can’t Stop Smiling After Winning
$200,000 Lottery Prize

SEPTEMBER 4, 2009 — Jessica Moss of St. Cloud stopped at SuperAmerica, 4045 – 2nd St. S. in St. Cloud yesterday morning (Sept. 3) to buy a Mega MONOPOLY™ scratch ticket before meeting her dad at a local restaurant for breakfast.

Moss scratched the ticket as they were drinking their coffee. She knew that she won something when her House number of 32 matched the Hotel number of 32. Moss, who says the prize is always the last part of the ticket she scratches, told her dad, “It’s going to have to be a big one.” It was — she revealed a prize of $200,000. “I looked at it and said, ‘No way! No way!’ My dad and I yelled, ‘We won $200,000!’ It was so exciting — this is going to change my life.”

As she claimed the prize at Lottery headquarters in Roseville on Sept. 3, Moss said, “I can’t stop smiling!”
