The Powerball lottery game is up near historic levels, we’re talking just over a Billion dollars! So that led to me heading over to the Minnesota Lottery website, where I was scrolling through past locations that sold winning tickets. I noticed that one location and city seemed to be selling more winning big tickets than other locations in the state. That 4-leaf clover in the Northstar state seems to be under Winners Corner in Newport.

For those unfamiliar with Newport Minnesota, it’s located along Highway 61 South of St. Paul, and just North of Cottage Grove. The population of Newport is just a touch short of 4,500 people, but already this year Winners Corner in Newport has sold 2 winning tickets valued at more than $25,000 a piece!
Last year the retail location sold more than 10 winning tickets worth more than $25,000!
The last winning ticket sold in Newport at Winners Corner was on March 22nd, and it was a North 5 ticket worth $25,000!
The store itself, is a store that sells board games and lottery tickets, and my guess is they are selling more lottery tickets than board games at this point…
