MARCH 2025
Paige R. of Pine Island
Paige and her pup have the best time playing the lottery! "It’s a Wednesday night ritual where I pick up my dog after work, and pick out lotto tickets and snacks, then head out for a walk." Thanks for sharing!
APRIL 2025
Katie H. of Minneapolis
"My brother and I stay in touch via texts almost every day. It helps keep us both grounded. We often share a pic or two of our pets, usually share at least one thing that makes us both laugh, and then talk about what we’d do if one of us won a big lottery. First, we’d pay off both of our mortgages and max out our retirement account contributions for the year. Then we’d help our kids out and donate to local nonprofit animal rescues." What fun conversations to have, Katie - thanks for sharing and good luck on getting your big win someday!

Van shares: "I'm doing nails, customers really like it and compliment me on my good work. They give me money to buy lottery tickets to find lucky numbers every day." How lucky is Van to get such great customers and how lucky are Van's customers to get such beautiful nails?! Thanks for sending in your story!
JUNE 2025
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!
JULY 2025
Jessie R. of Anoka
"I have been playing Minnesota Lottery for a long time - Ticket Tuesday is my favorite day. I got some for my dad and myself. He got $500 worth all together. He even split it with me." Congratulations to Jessie, and her dad, on their big Ticket Tuesday win! Thanks for sharing your excitement.

"We like to buy scratch tickets every Friday before picking up a pizza. I always buy my wife the crosswords and I pick something new and fun for myself. We’ve never won a big one, but we have fun playing and thinking about the big one. Hopefully we get our big one on the Raffle. 😀" What a fun Friday night tradition - thanks for sharing, Jeff!
