July 24, 2009
Kathleen Elton of South St. Paul purchased a five-line quick-pick ticket for the July 22 Gopher 5 drawing. The numbers on the fifth line of her ticket matched the numbers drawn that night (20-21-28-30-37) to win the $451,205 jackpot.
The ticket was purchased at Inver Grove Super USA, 5705 Carmen Ave. E. in Inver Grove Heights. The store will receive a $4,512 bonus for selling the winning ticket.
Elton claimed her prize at Lottery headquarters in Roseville on July 23.
