The Mississippi Lottery said a Mobile, Ala., couple collected a $500,000 prize today – that’s no April Fool’s joke.

They purchased a $20 “$500,000 Bonus Multiplier” scratch-off game Thursday from The Oaks of Moss Point on Old Stage Road in Moss Point, a press release stated.

They scratched the ticket and kept seeing zeros, then a comma. That’s when they realized they had a big win on their hands.

The game launched in October 2021 and still has one top prize of $500,000; one second chance promotional drawing prize of $500,000; prizes of $50,000, $20,000, $10,000; and even more remaining.

Mississippi Lottery players have kept headquarters buzzing this week claiming their wins.
