One lottery player had great luck with a Powerball® ticket he purchased at Mike’s Holiday in Tofte in July. The winning ticket matched four of the first five numbers and the Powerball number to earn $10,000. The prize was claimed on July 29, 2014.
Mike’s Holiday Manager Brian Olsen said he was delighted to hear that one of his customers had won. The winner wishes to remain anonymous, but Olsen knows who it is and he said, “I’m happy for them.”
The Holiday station does not receive a cash bonus, but they do receive recognition as a store that sold a major winning ticket.
According to Debbie Hoffman, lottery communications manager in Roseville, Minnesota the odds of winning $10,000 in the Powerball® are 648,976 to 1.
