Sikeston singer takes top prize in “Show Me Whatcha Got”

SIKESTON, MO (KFVS) - Sikeston native Anna Catherine DeHart dazzled a sold-out crowd at the Tinnin Center in Poplar Bluff on Saturday, June 1, walking away with the $1,000 grand prize as “Show Me Whatcha Got” wrapped up a second star-studded season.

DeHart battled her way out of the Final Twelve with her cover of “Good Girl” by Carrie Underwood, landing her in the Top Two alongside Lontonio Mathis, who performed a mashup of “Gonna Be Okay” by Chris Renee and Diddy’s “Coming Home.” For the final round, DeHart performed “So Small” by Carrie Underwood, wooing the audience vote to secure her victory.

"I hadn’t seen the show last year, so I had no idea what to expect,” said DeHart. “I was surprised at how organized and professional of a production it is. This community has a great competition going, and I’m proud I get to represent it!"

Construction worker wins $1 Million scratchers prize in Sikeston

Construction worker wins $1 Million scratchers prize in Sikeston

SIKESTON, MO (KFVS) - A Sikeston construction worker won a $1 million scratcher prize on March 9.

It had been a typical morning for Roy Metcalf Jr. and his boss when they walked into their “usual play place” for some Missouri Lottery Scratchers tickets before a construction job. However, when the co-workers left Fas Gas, 600 N. Main St. in Sikeston, on March 9, one of them walked away with an unexpected designation – newfound millionaire.

Metcalf explained that his boss had been playing “$1,000,000 Classic Cash,” but he wasn’t having much luck. Metcalf fared better, as he uncovered a $10 prize on a different game. With his winnings, he decided to try a “$1,000,000 Classic Cash” game, too. After scratching the majority of the ticket and not noticing any winning prize amounts, he assumed he was holding a non-winner. Then, he arrived at the final line.
