The jackpot wasn’t the game’s only big win in Minnesota. Another lucky Minnesota Lottery player won a $20,000 prize by matching the first five numbers drawn in the July 18 Lotto America drawing, while players across the state claimed prizes at every other prize level. It was a historic night for Minnesota, marking the first time in state history that winners have been awarded across all 9 Lotto America prize tiers in a single drawing.

We’re thrilled to celebrate this incredible win while continuing to generate proceeds that benefit Minnesotans.”

Prizes $50,000 and below can be claimed by mail or at any regional office. It is recommended that winners call ahead to check hours and to make an appointment
