We don't see many thunderstorms this time of the year, but lighting did strike twice this week for a pair of players in the Minnesota Lottery.

Monday (January 13) saw not one, but two, $100,00 jackpot winners.

One came in the Powerball drawing where one lucky player matched four numbers and the Powerball for a payout of $50,000, which was doubled thanks to the Power Play.

The winning ticket was purchased at Network Liquors in Ham Lake.

Also Monday, someone in Inver Grove Heights scratched off the $100,000 top prize in the Winter Fortune game.

The six-figure payouts are already the 11th in the North State in the first two weeks of 2025.
