Minnesota saw an exciting win in the Powerball draw on Monday night, with a lucky ticket purchased at Nicols Shell in Eagan worth a substantial $250,000, according to the Minnesota State Lottery. This victory stands out amidst the news that no one claimed the jackpot during the same drawing, which now swells to an estimated $126 million for the upcoming draw on Wednesday night.
Earlier this year, Minnesota also enjoyed a significant win in the Mega Millions, where a ticket sold in Delano generated a $3 million prize on February 6. These wins highlight a fortunate streak for the state, creating buzz among residents and players alike.
Winners of Minnesota Lottery prizes over $50,000 must present their tickets in person at the Minnesota Lottery headquarters located in Roseville. Players have a full year to claim their prizes, and it is advisable for winners to call ahead for verification of office hours and to schedule an appointment.
It’s important to note that while information regarding winners of more than $10,000 is considered private, winners can choose to share their names and locations if they wish to opt-in for publicity. This approach provides a sense of anonymity for those who prefer to enjoy their winnings quietly.
