Minnesotans Just Hit Two $100K Jackpots at Treasure Island

Lightning struck more than once at Minnesota's Treasure Island Resort & Casino in January, and the winners didn’t just walk away with pocket change; two lucky winners just walked away with over $100K!

While we know it doesn't always pay off, many of us here in the Land of 10,000 Lakes are willing to play the odds and plunk down a few dollars on some form of gaming or gambling. According to this Gambling in Minnesota study from the Department of Human Services, over two-thirds of Minnesota adults enjoy taking part in some form of gambling.

Specifically, nearly 67 percent of Minnesotans in the survey said they gambled over the past year, including buying lottery tickets and taking part in other gaming activities. A smaller percentage reported heading to one of Minnesota's casinos; about 15 percent reported that they gambled at a casino or other venue at least once in the past year, the survey noted.

But those casino patrons can score some big payouts. Like six-figure payouts, that is. That's according to a release from Treasure Island Resort & Casino, which said an Excelsior, Minnesota, man’s $106,525 jackpot on the slot machine Bull Mystery was one of two $100,000-plus wins in January at its casino in Welch, Minnesota.
