WADENA RESIDENT CLAIMS $1 MILLION PRIZE
January 10, 2012
This was the fourth year that Mike Snyder of Wadena played the Lottery’s Minnesota Millionaire Raffle game. Usually he purchases one ticket; this year he decided to purchase two tickets. That was a very lucky decision because the second ticket ended up being worth $1 million.
“I always buy a ticket because I figure my chance is as good as anybody else’s,” said Snyder. “I never dreamed of winning $1 million. I thought if I won one of those smaller prizes, that would be great.”
Holiday, located at 101 Jefferson St. N. in Wadena, sold the winning ticket. Holiday Companies received a $5,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.
The other $1 million prize from the Jan. 1, 2012 Raffle drawing, sold in Steele County, has not yet been claimed.
Trina Cooper of Inver Grove Heights and Jim Schellberg of Rosemount claimed $100,000 Raffle prizes. There are still three $100,000 Raffle prizes remaining to be claimed. Those winning tickets were purchased in Hennepin (two) and Mille Lacs counties.
