The winning ticket was sold at the Cub Foods store at 2100 N. Snelling Av. in Roseville, according to a post on X from the Minnesota Lottery.
“Minnesota’s newest millionaire is going to have a lotto fun with a big win,” the state’s lottery wrote in the post, adding a dollar sign face emoji.
The ticketholder will have the choice between $3.73 million, paid in 30 graduated payments over 29 years, or a lump sum payment of $1.78 million in cash, according to a news release from Powerball. Both options are before taxes.
The previous two Lotto America jackpots in Minnesota were in 2018 and 2019, paying $22.82 million and $21.6 million, respectively.
The last winning ticket was sold on Dec. 27 in Tennessee, with a jackpot worth $3.10 million.
The winning numbers were red balls 4, 5, 8, 22, 47 and blue Star Ball 6. A ticket in Iowa also matched all five red balls in last night’s drawing to win a $20,000 prize.
Republicans across the country benefited from favorable tailwinds as President-elect Donald Trump resoundingly defeated Democrat Kamala Harris. But that wasn’t the whole story in Minnesota.
