For some winners, the thrill starts small and grows into something unforgettable. Meg P. from St. Paul shared her incredible experience, starting with a modest win on an older game.

For some reason, I was looking at the $10 Holiday $1,000. As soon as I scratched the bonus boxes, I couldn’t believe my eyes when it said I won $100. Thinking that the rest of the game was a dud, I continued scratching the matching numbers and the first three numbers were winners as well. I ended up having six matching numbers. I was in complete disbelief when I found out that I won a prize large enough for me to not be able to cash it in at a lottery retailer. It was exciting and thrilling!

How Lottery Dollars Make a Difference In Minnesota

Every time someone buys a lottery ticket in Minnesota, they’re doing more than chasing a potential jackpot, they’re contributing to our state in meaningful ways.

Since 1990, nearly $4 billion in lottery dollars have been invested back into Minnesota, funding essential programs and projects.

Over $2.2 billion has gone to the General Fund, supporting education, public safety, and healthcare. Another $1.1 billion has strengthened the Environment & Natural Resources Trust Fund, ensuring the preservation of our state’s natural beauty for generations to come.

From funding outdoor trails and wildlife conservation to promoting responsible gambling initiatives, lottery dollars play a vital role in keeping Minnesota vibrant, sustainable, and thriving. So, even if you don’t win big, every ticket you buy helps make a difference.
