Golden Gophers! Minnesota Pool Wins $460,000; It Pays to Pool, Right?
Four regular patrons and employees of The Dugout Bar in Mahtomedi each contributed $2 toward the June 9 Gopher 5 drawing because the jackpot was an advertised $460,000.
Scott Wertheiner bought the group’s 28 quick-picks at Freedom Valu Center on Stillwater Road in Mahtomedi, Minnesota, and checked the tickets against the winning numbers on his laptop at the Dugout after the drawing on June 9.
After discovering that the 27th set of numbers matched the winning numbers (4-5-10-32-35), he went into the office to verify their $230,179 win and passed the ticket around to several group members. A second ticket also matched all five winning numbers so the group will split half of the $460,358 prize, still good reason to smile.
So the next time someone asks you to join a pool…think about it.
Now THIS is great gaming news! What do I do now?
