MISSOURI – As reported by the Kansas City Star: "The Missouri Lottery celebrates its 20th birthday this month by giving Missourians a six-digit birthday present.
"Tickets went on sale Monday for the special 'Dream Draw' raffle game that runs through Feb. 23. Weekly tax prepaid prizes of $20,000 will be awarded, along with a tax-free grand prize of $200,000. The $2 game also offers a number of $20 instant winners.
"The state lottery has come a long way since January 1986, when the first scratch-off game, 'Jackpot '86,' was introduced.
"Since then, $8.5 billion in total sales has generated $4.8 billion in player prizes and $2.5 billion for public education and other state purposes.
