A Minnesota Lottery player won the largest Lotto America jackpot in state history after purchasing a winning ticket in Coon Rapids. The July 18 drawing resulted in a $34.12 million annuitized prize, or a $15.15 million cash option. This marks the first jackpot win for the game in Minnesota this year. The winning ticket was sold at Holiday Stationstores, which will receive a $10,000 bonus for the sale. Adam Prock, Minnesota Lottery Executive Director, called the win a historic moment that generates proceeds to benefit Minnesotans. The drawing was also notable for other achievements; another player won $20,000, and for the first time in state history, winners were awarded across all nine prize tiers in a single drawing. The jackpot winner has one year to claim the prize at the lottery headquarters in Roseville. While the winner's identity remains undisclosed, they must decide between the annuity or cash payout before the deadline.
