A very large Minnesota Powerball Lottery has been won but not by a local. Players from other states have been buying the tickets and cashing in big. The lucky winner was from Pennsylvania and will be awarded $58 Million.

The big winner managed to match all six numbers to win the $58.6 million jackpot. The numbers were drawn this past Wednesday and were 20, 30, 37, 50 and 52 with a Powerball of 33. The winning player can take a lump sum of $30,207,012 or the entire prize over the next twenty nine years in installments.

There were other winners on Wednesday as well. A player from Colorado and one from Iowa won $200,000 each while just over 400,000 others won cash as well. A Minnesotan matched four of the numbers and took the Power Play option to win $20,000 and 42 more people from the state won $10,000.

This is a lot of winners for one state lottery. I would not be surprised if many people from all over the country begin to buy tickets on their way through Minnesota. The next lottery will be worth $15 million.
