A Fulton woman has won $100,000 playing a Missouri Lottery scratchers game, and eight other Callaway County residents won $1,000 playing other scratchers games during October.

Donna Bigsby of Fulton plans to spend some of the $100,000 she won a few days ago playing a Missouri Lottery Scratchers game.

The 34-year-old Fulton woman said her dream of buying a new home and a vehicle will now come true. Her two children also will benefit from the $100,000 prize.

"Both of my kids want bikes," Bigsby said. "So they'll both be getting those. They are really excited because they have been asking me for new bikes."

Bigsby plans to become an early childhood education teacher. She said she began to cry when she realized she had won the top prize on a "10X The Money" scratchers game.

"My kids, nieces and nephews were at my house at the time," she said. "They thought something was wrong."
