CONGRATS!
Check out our winners from each month:
Rena L. of LeSueur
Rena and her co-workers at a nursing home in LeSueur have been supporting the Minnesota Lottery since 2007—pooling their money for Powerball, Mega Millions, Gopher 5 and more. “We are hoping our luck will come in soon as most of us are nearing retirement,” says Rena. Good luck Rena and gang! We ❤️ essential workers.
Cory V. of Farmington
Cory has always wanted to win and hoped some day it would happen. Well, it did! He won our $2021 Social Sweepstakes on Facebook with a prize of $2021 and some lottery merchandise. "I couldn't believe it. I've never won anything before. I was so happy!", said Cory. After being told he won the Share Your Lottery Story contest, he said: "I feel so lucky lately. Really feels good." Good things happen when you say I'MN and Cory is proof!
Jeff S. of Detroit Lakes
He said, "I rarely win, but I sure have fun trying!" Congrats on this win, Jeff!
Lisa W. of Lino Lakes
"Gotta play to win," Lisa said. Entering the Share Your Lottery Contest paid off for her and she was our May winner.
Christina G. of Woodbury
Christina plays the lottery as "an homage to my grandma, Betty because she loved playing the lottery." She's got big plans for when she hits it big: "My wish is to buy a beach house on The Outer Banks of North Carolina like my grandparents did for the family...I would name the beach house "Cloud Nine" because grandma always said she was on cloud nine when she was at the beach." What an awesome story!
Lindsey S. of St. Paul
"My husband and I love doing scratchers together! Every special occasion or date night involves a few crossword or bingo lottos each. Even if we don’t win, it’s still fun!" Now, that's a fun date night! Congrats, Lindsey!
Vern L. of Brandon
Vern has a story that a lot of players can relate to: "I almost won once. I had five numbers along with a Powerball number." We hope you hit the jackpot soon, Vern! Congrats on this win!
Jawaan C. of Fergus Falls
"I enjoy playing MN Lottery games. It's definitely more fun than going to the casino!" said Jawaan. We couldn't agree more - congrats on your win, Jawaan!
Pamela D. of Rosemount
"I dream of winning the big one, so my husband can retire and we can buy our dream home up north on a lake. We would fish all day on our new pontoon. At night we would sit by the campfire and eat s'mores. What a retirement that would be!!!" We're crossing our fingers for a dream come true. Congratulations, Pamela!
Mark K. of Richfield
It was a close call for Mark who regularly played Hot Lotto back in the day. “I picked my own 5 sets of numbers on a play slip and got 5 quick picks on separate tickets to even it out. The next morning, I checked my tickets and I started to get sweaty... nervous... excited and ready to faint because I matched four balls in a row! But then I missed the fifth ball by two (I picked 37 but it was 39). Then I matched the Hot Ball! I thought HOLY SMOKES. It's gotta be $20,000 or something big. It almost haunts me to this day knowing that I was so close to winning $11 million. Instead, I won $3,000.” These days Mark says he likes to try his luck at Lotto America. Congrats, Mark!
