ROSEVILLE, Minn. — Someone in Minnesota is $100,000 richer after Monday night’s Powerball drawing.
Minnesota Lottery officials say a ticket purchased Monday at Ham Lake’s Network Liquors matched four of the five winning numbers and the Powerball.
That would typically mean a price of $50,000, but the buyer chose the Power Play option – doubling the dollar amount.
Monday’s winning numbers were 4, 6, 16, 39, 66, with 9 for the Powerball. Wednesday’s Powerball jackpot is worth more than $300 million.
A winner has yet to be announced, but they can remain anonymous if they wish, thanks to a State law 2021. The Minnesota Lottery says people who win a prize of more than $50,000 must claim it in person at their headquarters in Roseville.
If a prize is not claimed within one year of purchase, the money goes to the state’s general fund.
Two people started the new year with a bang by winning $1 million each in the Millionaire lottery. The winning tickets were sold in the small towns of Nowthen and Tracy. Both winners claimed their prizes anonymously.
