Sunday morning a South County woman stopped in Sam's Liquor to discover she'd won a major prize.
The $590.5 million-winning Powerball ticket is in the hands of a Florida resident, but Saturday's drawing was lucky for one South County woman who claimed a $1 million Powerball prize in Lemay. A manager at Sam's Liquor told St. Louis Post-Dispatch that a regular stopped into the store early Sunday to discover her ticket matched five of the winning numbers. It was one of two $1 million dollar tickets sold this weekend in Missouri, according to the report. She isn't the only South County resident to strike the Powerball lottery in the last week--a $1 million winning ticket was purchased at Telegraph Liquors in Oakville last Wednesday.

The Mehlville School District has already been able to reap some savings from solar panels atop five district schools, which were installed in December.
