Million Dollar Lotto Ticket Sold in Central Minnesota

(KNSI) – Two Minnesotans have started the New Year winning $1 million thanks to the Minnesota Lottery’s Millionaire Raffle drawing. The winning tickets were bought at Dollar Fresh at 3225 10th Street East in Glencoe and Kwik Trip #141 at 1100 7th Avenue in Two Harbors.

These stores will receive a $5,000 bonus for selling the winning tickets.

While the total payout is $1 million, the winners will have to pay at least 31.25% federal and state withholding taxes on the amount above $5,000, bringing the initial net payout to $689,062, which may change when winners do their 2022 tax returns depending on their incomes.

Along with the two seven-figure winners, there were five $100,000 and five $25,000 prizes.

The $100,000 winning tickets were sold at:

Holiday Stationstore 1016 Highway 15 S., in Hutchinson.

Last year, a Minnesota Millionaire Raffle ticket worth $100,000 was sold at the Kwik Trip at 105 2nd Street South in Sartell. According to lottery officials, the ticket was never claimed and has expired. A second $100,000 ticket was sold in Milaca and was claimed before 2021 closed out.
