    Record-Breaking Ticket Sales Highlight New Year’s Excitement<\/h2>\n

    The 2026 Minnesota Millionaire Raffle<\/b> broke its own sales record when all 1 million tickets<\/b> sold out on November 3, 2025<\/b> in just 14 days. This represented the fastest sellout since the game launched 20 years ago. The previous record held at 15 days<\/b>, making this year’s surge in ticket purchases a milestone moment for the state lottery.<\/p>\n

    Ticket sales began on October 21, 2025<\/b>, and players across Minnesota couldn’t resist the excitement of the upcoming January 1 drawing. Each $10 ticket offered a chance at extraordinary prizes, but the record-breaking sales volume demonstrated just how popular this annual tradition has become.<\/p>\n

    Two New Millionaires Emerge from Coon Rapids and International Falls<\/h2>\n

    The first $1 million-winning ticket<\/b> was purchased at Holiday Stationstore on Northwest Round Lake Boulevard<\/b> in Coon Rapids<\/b>. The second $1 million ticket<\/b> came from Forestland Sales near 3rd Street<\/b> in International Falls<\/b>, located in the northeastern corner of Minnesota. Both outlets became the lucky retailers who sold the state’s newest millionaires.<\/p>\n

    These two winners join thousands of other Minnesotans celebrating across the state this morning. The lottery released the official winning numbers at 5:00 a.m. on January 1<\/b>, and ticket holders immediately began checking their seven-digit numbers against the announced results.<\/p>\n

    Prize Distribution and Game Details for 2026<\/h2>\n

    Beyond the two millionaires, the 2026 drawing<\/b> created additional winners at multiple prize tiers. Five players won $100,000 each<\/b>, five others claimed $50,000 prizes<\/b>, and five more earned $25,000<\/b>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

    Celebrating Twenty Years of Minnesota Millionaire Traditions<\/h2>\n

The record-breaking sellout reflects not only the appeal of winning life-changing prizes but also the cultural significance this annual event holds across the state.<\/p>\n

    To mark this milestone, lottery organizers enhanced the game with better odds and new prize options. Players enjoyed overall odds of 1 in 50<\/b> to win any cash prize, making it one of the more approachable lottery games available. The variety of prize amounts means that even non-jackpot winners can still experience meaningful payouts.<\/p>\n

    How Minnesotans Can Check Winning Tickets and Claim Prizes?<\/h2>\n

    Players have until the end of 2026 to claim their prizes. The Minnesota Lottery made it easy to verify tickets through multiple methods. Winners can visit mnlottery.com<\/b> to check their seven-digit number, download an Excel file containing all winning numbers, or use the official Minnesota Lottery mobile app to scan their tickets.<\/p>\n

    Retail locations like Holiday Stationstore<\/b> and other Minnesota Lottery retailers<\/b> can also verify tickets for players. For those who won significant amounts, the lottery provides guidance on claiming procedures and payout options through their official website.<\/p>\n
