Lottery tickets are something that many people only dream of, but for two lucky winners from the North Shore, their dreams just became a reality.
"One Powerball ticket purchased in Duluth for the June 25 drawing matched the first five numbers winning that person $1 million," the Minnesota Lottery announced in a statement Monday. "A ticket from Grand Marais matched four of the first five numbers plus the Powerball to win $50,000."
The Duluth winner’s prize beat the 1 in 11,688,054 odds to take home the second largest prize possible, and the Grand Marais winner beat 1 in 913,129 odds.
Participants in the Powerball lottery pick five different numbers from 1-69, and then choose one “Powerball number” from 1-26.
To win the jackpot, a ticket must match all five numbers and the Powerball to top the approximate 1 in 292 million odds.
The June 25 winning Powerball numbers were: 6-12-20-27-32 and Powerball 4.
Minnesota Lottery says there were no jackpot winners, and as such the Powerball Jackpot on June 27 reached an estimated $346 million.
