January:
Aaron S. of Brainerd
"Our parents always put MN Lottery Scratchers in our stockings. We open presents on Christmas Eve but get our stocking filled by “Santa” every Christmas morning. Even as adults we always look forward to the scratchers and scratch them all while sitting together. Never won anything big, but it’s always a fun family tradition." We think so too, Aaron. We hope you get a big winner this holiday season!
February:
Daniel B. of Bagley
Daniel "couldn't believe it" when he won $2,000! Congratulations on your win - and this win too!
March:
Joanne D. of Shakopee
A win is a win! Joanne shared "I don't win big but I did win $50 on Minnesota Vikings SKOL." That's a win in our book - congrats, Joanne!
April:
Michael A. of Brooklyn Park
"Every year for Christmas my parents have a hard time trying to figure out what to give so now they give us 3 boys all lottery tickets with our families. We all sit around and do the scratch offs and see who wins the most money. We all come dressed in our matching jammies and play the scratch offs. It's tradition now." Thanks for sharing your story Mike! We love this tradition - and those matching jammies!
May:
Christy R. of Apple Valley
Christy just so happened to have a lucky day - "One day I won $1,000 and I was so excited and happy." She had another lucky day when she won our Share Your Lottery Story drawing! Congratulations!
June:
Rebecca F. of Minneapolis
"Every Christmas, my mom sends me a lottery ticket in my Christmas card. It's a tradition she passed on from her own dad. Although I haven't won too much money, it was exciting to be old enough to scratch my ticket for the first time. The idea that you can win is almost like winning!" Thanks for sharing your fun tradition, Rebecca!
July:
Matthew W. of Lakeville
"My wife and I play a few times a month. Nothing big, usually just put winnings into next week’s scratchers but every once in awhile we have a bigger win. Fun to have a little extra cash lying around for fun on our summer trips around the state!" Way to get out and play, Matt! Enjoy your summer adventures.
August:
Kelli L. of Otsego
Kelli found a winner in a surprising way - "Hoping to win something big. I did find a winner in the parking lot and turned that in for $25!" Here's to another win with $25 in scratch tickets and a T-shirt - congrats Kelli!
September:
Debra M. of Ottertail
"I love to enter your giveaways. I have won on scratch tickets a couple times and put my winnings into my garden fund. I set up a produce stand every year with free vegetables for people who are struggling. My lottery winnings have bought me many seeds for my garden and fed a lot of people." What a great story! Thank you for sharing, Debra!
October:
Mark K. of Iron
"I play scratch games - biggest win has been a $100, but you can't win if you don't play. Playing the new ones when they come out on Ticket Tuesday to see if you are going to have a new favorite is always fun." Thanks for sharing your win and fun Ticket Tuesday tradition, Mark!
November:
Eric L. of R
"Whether I win or lose it’s good to know playing helps Minnesota wildlife." That's the spirit, Eric! Thanks for playing your part.
December:
Deborah W. of Burnsville
"Every year I scramble around the city buying Minnesota Millionaire Raffle tickets, hoping one part of the city has better luck. No lucky wins yet." Thanks for sharing your story, Deborah. We hope next year will be your year!
