While Powerball jackpot winners in California, Florida and Tennessee celebrate their wins, the jackpot roll, which began on Nov. 7, 2015 and ended with last week’s record $1,586,400,000 jackpot, gives Minnesota plenty to celebrate.
• During this jackpot roll, Minnesota’s lottery players won $6,116,384 on 1,011,512 winning Powerball tickets.
• Minnesota Lottery retailers earned $2,946,267 from Powerball sales since the roll began.
