ST. PETERS, Mo. (AP) - Talk about a nice birthday present: A St. Louis-area man celebrated turning 30 by winning $2.2 million in the Missouri Lotto game.

The Missouri Lottery says David Caito Jr. of St. Peters matched all six Lotto numbers drawn on Feb. 16 to win the prize just three days before his milestone birthday.

Caito is a business development manager. He plans to use the money to pay off debts, including his student loan, and invest in business opportunities.

Caito bought the winning ticket at Aro-Mart on Harvester Road in St. Peters.
