AUGUST 2026

Check back for our August winner story!

JULY 2026

Cassandra H. of Apple Valley

I bought $300 in scratch-offs so I could gift half as a birthday gift and half as a graduation gift. My husband said we should keep a couple for ourselves because they look fun, so we did. One of them ended up being a $500 winner! Got my $300 back and an extra $200."

JUNE 2026

Jonathan M. of Cloquet

I love playing scratch tickets because the excitement you get from playing them. Me and my friend only bought a couple of tickets, but low and behold we sat at the gas station for, jeez, a couple of hours, just playing scratch tickets. We said to each other, "I think we better get going," jokingly. I'll remember that day, playing scratch tickets. That was so much fun." Thanks for recalling your fun day, Jonathan!

MAY 2026

Gerald H. of Big Lake

I have been playing the same numbers since 1993. Over the years, I’ve had to change them twice because of lottery rule changes. My biggest win was $100, and now I play those numbers on Powerball and Lotto America, and I also use five of them on Gopher 5 and North 5 EZ Match. I have kept ALL my non-winning tickets and have them stored in a pretty big box!

APRIL 2026

Cara T. of Brownsdale

Cara had been drawn as a potential winner once before in this free contest but did not respond to the email in time to be verified. An alternate was selected and she missed out on the prize. She entered again in a new month: "Moral of the story is, if at first, you don't succeed, try again. Here I am, trying again." Her persistence paid off as she was drawn again, completed the verification process on time and won $25 in scratch tickets and a Lottery T-shirt. Congrats, Cara!

MARCH 2026

Aldric R. of International Falls

Aldric shared that the most he has ever won is $150 and he's ready for the next win. Lucky him, he was drawn as the monthly Share Your Lottery Story winner - here's to keeping the winning streak going! Congratulations and thanks for sharing your story.

FEBRUARY 2026

Mohammed M. of St. Paul

Mohammed has been in on the fun of the lottery for almost 10 years and has gotten some good wins - $500 and $300. His ultimate dream is to win over $5,000 and he says, "I feel my time to hit the jackpot is coming." We're crossing our fingers for you! Thanks for sharing your story.

JANUARY 2026

Loretta M. of Duluth

Loretta said I'MN and took a chance at entering this free contest and it paid off. "I have never won anything like this," she said. Now she can say she has - congratulations and thanks for sharing!
