$100,000 Winning Powerball Ticket Purchased In Duluth, Minnesota

Someone in northern Minnesota had quite a profitable weekend by buying a Powerball ticket, and they were just one number away from winning a life-changing jackpot.

Going into the drawing on Saturday, August 23, the Powerball jackpot had grown to an estimated $700 million. Although nobody won the grand prize, someone in the Duluth area did win $100,000, which is still a significant amount.

The winning Powerball numbers on August 23 were: 11,14, 34, 47, and 51. The Powerball was 18 and Power Play 2x.

To win $100,000, the winner would've matched 4 out of 5 white numbers while also matching the Powerball number, and adding the multiplier option to their winning ticket.

According to the Minnesota Lottery, that's exactly what happened to someone who purchased their ticket in Duluth.

$100,000 Winning Powerball Ticket Purchased In Duluth, Minnesota

The Minnesota Lottery says the winning ticket was purchased at a Super One Foods located at 5401 Burning Tree Road in Duluth.

As of the afternoon of Monday, August 25, that big win has yet to be claimed. Hopefully, whoever bought that ticket still has it in their possession and remembers to check the winning Powerball numbers from Saturday.

Unless they decide to come forward publicly, we may never know who the winner is. Regulation is in place in Minnesota to protect lottery winners who win over $10,000.

Big-money winners can become targets for scammers and fraud, so the Minnesota Lottery will not divulge their name unless they first agree to it.
