See which 2026 Kansas City cash prizes are documented, what remains unclaimed, and how the statewide promotion works.
There is no verified 2026 list of Kansas City-exclusive, no-purchase cash sweepstakes. The documented local cash prizes are Missouri Lottery winnings, while the current cash promotion is statewide and ticket-based. That distinction matters because lottery games require eligible tickets.
A conventional sweepstakes cannot make purchasing necessary or give buyers better odds.
The current statewide cash promotion
Missouri Lottery's Red, White and Blue Summer Promotion offers one $30,000 taxes-paid cash prize and ten $1,000 taxes-paid prizes per drawing. The final listed entry deadline is August 19, 2026, according to the Missouri Lottery promotion page. Kansas City residents participate under the same statewide rules.
Entry requires eligible tickets and a free My Lottery Players Club account or the Lottery app. Because tickets are required, readers should treat this as a Missouri Lottery second-chance promotion—not a Kansas City no-purchase sweepstakes.
- Submit eligible tickets through the account or app.
- Receive one entry for every $10 in eligible tickets.
- Check that entries are submitted before the applicable deadline.
Documented 2026 Kansas City cash prizes
The records distinguish between a Kansas City player and tickets purchased in Kansas City. A local sales address does not, by itself, establish that the winner lives in the city. These are documented lottery prizes connected to Kansas City.
They should not be presented as winners from free-entry local sweepstakes.
- March 26: A Kansas City player won a $242,000 Show Me Cash jackpot with a ticket from QuikTrip, 4380 N.W. 90th St. The player had also won a jackpot in 2024, according to the Missouri Lottery's April 13 report.
- January 22: A ticket from West Bottoms, 1509 W. 12th St., matched all five Show Me Cash numbers for a $145,000 jackpot.
- May 30: A Jackson County player won a $118,000 Show Me Cash jackpot using a ticket from Saver Food, 1616 E. 63rd St.
- June 26: Missouri Lottery reported a $100,000 Scratchers prize from a ticket purchased at Discount Smokes & Liquor, 17 E. Highway 69.
The $246,000 ticket awaiting a claim
A Show Me Cash ticket sold at State Line BP, 13015 State Line Road, matched the June 26 drawing for a $246,000 prize. It remained unclaimed when Missouri Lottery last updated its unclaimed-prizes list. The listed claim deadline is December 23, 2026.
Anyone who bought a Show Me Cash ticket at that location for the June 26 drawing should compare it with the winning numbers and follow Missouri Lottery's claiming instructions before that date.
How to evaluate a cash sweepstakes offer
The Missouri Attorney General says a legitimate sweepstakes cannot improve the odds for people who make purchases. Its consumer guidance on sweepstakes supports rejecting offers that make payment seem required or advantageous. Watch for claims that: Before spending money or submitting information, identify whether the offer is a sweepstakes, a lottery game, or a ticket-based second-chance promotion.
- A purchase is necessary to enter a supposed sweepstakes.
- Spending more will improve the chance of winning.
- A statewide lottery promotion is a Kansas City-exclusive giveaway.
