The Minnesota Lottery, established in 1989, offers draw games like Powerball, Mega Millions, Gopher 5, North 5, and Pick 3, along with scratch-offs. Proceeds support education, environment, and natural resources.
In accordance with the Minnesota Constitution, 40 percent of net lottery proceeds are dedicated to the Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund. The remaining 60 percent is dedicated to the General Fund by statute. In addition, revenue from a 6.5% in-lieu-of-sales tax on lottery tickets is divided by statute between the General Fund, the Game and Fish Fund, and the Natural Resources Fund.
This page covers buying rules, results verification, privacy guidance, claim procedures, and tax planning for Minnesota players.
View All GamesLottery tickets can be purchased at more than 3,000 licensed retailers across Minnesota. Cash is always accepted, and debit cards may be accepted depending on the retailer because they function similarly to electronic checks. Credit cards are prohibited by state law for lottery purchases. Sales are permitted every day of the week, including Sundays, during retailer business hours.

Minnesota allows winners of prizes over $10,000 to remain anonymous. The winner’s name and city are classified as private data unless the winner chooses to opt in to publicity.

Prizes at or above this amount may qualify for permanent confidentiality under the published rules.
Minnesota allows anonymity for prizes over $10,000, classifying winner names and cities as private data unless you opt into publicity.

When nobody claims a Minnesota lottery prize, that unclaimed money gets redirected back into the state's general fund. It's pretty interesting, actually—the funds end up supporting education, infrastructure, and various public programs rather than sitting in some vault collecting dust. So essentially, your state benefits from prizes that slip through the cracks.
Federal withholding usually starts at 24% on larger prizes, and Minnesota applies 9.85% state tax where required. Use this section to understand what gets withheld, how payout choice affects taxes, and when to use the calculator for a personalized estimate.
The IRS generally withholds 24% on prizes above $5,000. Minnesota also applies a 9.85% state rate where required.
Withholding is only an initial payment toward your eventual tax liability. Your total income, filing situation, and local rules can all push the real outcome higher or lower.
When you want a personalized estimate, use the calculator to compare lump sum and annuity outcomes with federal, state, and local tax detail where applicable.
