Business Owners Win Big in Macon

Kimberly Ball was in Macon working with her husband for the week at one of the Sonic Drive-Ins that they own. She had no idea that a trip to get gas at a local gas station on March 20 would result in winning $100,000 on a “$4,000,000 Payout” Scratchers ticket.
The Clinton resident purchased $50 in Scratchers tickets: one “50X The Cash,” and two from “$4,000,000 Payout.”
“My brother gave me this ticket for my birthday, and I won $100,” said Ball talking about the “$4,000,000 Payout” Scratchers game. “So that’s why I bought two.”
It was the second ticket, and the first number she scratched that revealed her big $100,000 win.
“I called my husband and said, ‘You need to tell me if I am seeing this right!’” said Ball. “My son is part owner with us, and my daughter was working, as well, so we all just hugged and cried. It was a happy family moment.”
Still fresh in their minds, Ball said they have a few ideas about what to do with their winnings.
          
“We talked about paying off my car, putting some in savings and maybe a trip this summer,” she said. “My daughter is dying to go back to Mexico. Man, this is amazing. I am so happy.”
Ball says she buys Missouri Lottery Scratchers tickets a couple times a month. She bought her $100,000 winning Scratchers ticket at Casey’s, 807 S. Missouri St., in Macon.

“$4,000,000 Payout” is a $20 Scratchers game introduced in on Sept. 9, 2015. It offers top prizes of $4 million and $90 million in total prizes.

Updated Obituary - Remington Jade “Remi” Craft

Remington Jade “Remi” Craft

Remington Jade “Remi” Craft earned her angel wings on March 25th, 2017.  Funeral services will be 2:00 PM Saturday, April 1, 2017 at Mullinax Funeral Home (660-679-0009) in Butler. There will be no visitation. 

Cremation will follow the services. Memorial contributions are suggested toward “Remington’s Heart,” to be used for babies born with congenital heart defects. Messages and memories for the family may be left at www.mullinaxfuneralhome.com.

Also, a special vigil in Remi’s honor will take place Saturday evening, 8:00 PM at the Butler Fairgrounds. The public is welcome and invited to attend. 

Remi lived most of her life at Children's Mercy Hospital, because she was born with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. Being born with half of a heart, you would never know anything was wrong with her by looking at her. Beautiful and perfect. She astonished all of the medical staff with how well she did after her first surgery and how fast she was able to go home.

Remi had 6 wonderful days at home with her parents, big brother, and big sisters. During her seven short weeks here on Earth, she touched many lives and was loved deeply by so many. She brought communities and our family together. She fought hard until she went to be with Jesus, such a brave little girl. It gives us comfort to know that her heart is now whole.

Remi was welcomed in heaven by her maternal great-grandma, Karen Whitten; and paternal great-grandparents Helen and Lloyd McElwain. She is mourned on earth by her parents Kaleigh and Brandon Craft; her siblings Kaiden, Addisyn and Gracelyn; maternal grandparents Galen Whitten and Patricia Payne; paternal grandparents Steve and Michelle Craft; as well as several other family members.
