Minnesota has several lotto games to participate in all year round, and one of them is about to undergo a huge makeover, including a huge price increase.
Gopher 5 is a Minnesota-only lottery game, with tickets costing $1 each. The odds of winning the Gopher 5 jackpot are 1 in 1,533,939a and drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
Collectively, Minnesotans spent $205,179,563 on lotto tickets last year, with each person here averaging just under $36 spent on the lottery for the whole year.
