Frontier Tesoro in Fergus Falls Sells Powerball Ticket Worth $200,000

JUNE 30, 2008 — Shaun Campbell was driving back to Minneapolis on June 23, 2008 after working in Grand Forks, N.D. the previous week. The Scottsdale, Ariz. resident stopped at Frontier Tesoro, 615 Frontier Drive in Fergus Falls to purchase a five-line quick-pick ticket for the June 25 Powerball drawing.

The fifth line on Campbell’s ticket matched the first five numbers drawn (14-21-25-45-53) that night to win $200,000. Campbell claimed the prize at Lottery headquarters in Roseville on June 27.

A Powerball prize worth $200,000 from the drawing on Feb. 13, 2008 (sold in Stearns County) has not yet been claimed. Players have one year from the date of the drawing to claim all prizes.

Powerball is the multi-state lotto game that offers players nine ways to win. Players select five numbers from 1 to 55 and a Powerball, from 1 to 42. The jackpot is won by matching all five numbers plus the Powerball. Approximate odds of winning a cash prize are 1 in 36.6 and approximately 1 in 146 million to win the jackpot.

For an extra $1 per Powerball play, players can purchase the Power Play option to multiply their prizes (except the jackpot) by two, three, four or five times. A Power Play wheel randomly draws the Power Play number before the winning Powerball numbers are drawn. A Match 5 winner ($200,000) who purchased the Power Play option could win up to $1 million!

Lottery players must be 18 years of age or older. Please play responsibly. If you or someone you know needs help with a gambling problem, call (800) 333-HOPE.
