Where were the $1M Minnesota Millionaire Raffle tickets sold?

According to the Minnesota Lottery, one $1 million ticket was sold in the north metro and the other was sold in far northern Minnesota — a pairing that instantly turned two everyday stops into statewide talking points.

• Coon Rapids: Holiday Stationstore, 13051 NW Round Lake Blvd
• International Falls: Forestland Sales, 1111 Third St

Both businesses also receive a $5,000 bonus for selling a winning $1 million raffle ticket — a nice “house win” that adds to the local buzz. For the latest official details and updates, readers can check the Minnesota Lottery’s site directly during the claim period. (Minnesota Lottery)

Local reporting has highlighted how quickly the news spread once the locations were confirmed — especially with New Year’s Day travelers, post-holiday shoppers, and hometown pride all colliding at once. (CBS Minnesota)

Prize breakdown: more than just two million-dollar tickets

Along with the two $1 million winners, the Minnesota Lottery also confirmed additional high-value prizes across multiple tiers. Here’s the prize lineup that was reported for this drawing:

• $1,000,000 prizes: 2 winners
• $100,000 prizes: 5 winners
• $50,000 prizes: 5 winners
• $25,000 prizes: 5 winners
• $20,000 prizes: 40 winners

That broad spread matters because it fuels even more searches. People who bought tickets but didn’t hit the top prize still rush to check whether they landed in a five-figure tier — and friends or family often look up results on their behalf.

How to claim a Minnesota Millionaire Raffle prize

If you’re holding a ticket and refreshing results, the most important part is staying calm and following the rules. The Minnesota Lottery’s guidance for the raffle includes a clear deadline and stricter steps for higher-value prizes.

• Claim deadline: Prizes must be claimed within one year of the drawing date.
• Large claims: Claims over $50,000 must be made in person.
• Where: In-person claims are handled at the Minnesota Lottery headquarters in Roseville.

Practical tip: If you think you’ve won, sign the back of your ticket (where instructed), store it securely, and rely only on official guidance for next steps. Scams often spike around high-profile drawings, especially when a location is publicly identified.

What we know (and what we don’t) about the winners

At the time the sales locations were announced, the winners’ identities had not been publicly shared. That’s common early in the process because claiming and verification steps can take time. For many readers, the immediate curiosity is less about “who” and more about the simple headline facts: where the tickets were sold and how to check results.

Expect interest to remain high for a short window. Once winners claim prizes (or if a public announcement is made), searches typically spike again — especially in the two communities tied to the winning sales points.
