A state employee is the latest Missouri Lottery player to win a Show Me Cash jackpot. Kevin Cheaney of Arcadia was working at Johnson's Shut-Ins State Park during Labor Day weekend. But that gave him the opportunity to stop for Lottery tickets on the way home. A stop on Friday garnered one $55,000 winning Show Me Cash jackpot ticket.
