So we entered our scratch game ticket in a second chance winter lotto drawing


They called us an hour ago. We won $1,000 as an alternate prize.

The primary winner didn't save their ticket like they were supposed to do.

Our neighbor won $900,000.00 on some Minnesota lottery a couple of years ago. We were so happy for him……it’s kinda nice knowing winners eh? 🙂

XXX XXXXX of Dakota, Minn., claimed the $932,716 Gopher 5 jackpot that he won in the Dec. 19, 2018, drawing. Dakota resident claims $900,000 Minnesota Lottery prize |
