Lotto America jackpot prize claimed
A South Dakota Lottery player has claimed their Lotto America jackpot prize.
The player, who won the prize as a result of the Aug. 6 Lotto America drawing, became South Dakota’s first multi-state jackpot winner since 2018. The player chose the cash option of the $4,010,000 jackpot, which resulted in a one-time payment of $1,822,001. Applicable Federal income taxes were also withheld.
The winning ticket was purchased at Freedom Valu Center in Vermillion. The retailer will receive a $10,000 incentive for selling the winning ticket. The jackpot win marks South Dakota’s first under Lotto America’s current format, which was launched in 2017.
While the Lotto America prize has been claimed, the jackpot excitement doesn’t end for South Dakota Lottery Players. Wednesday’s Powerball drawing features a $526 million jackpot.
The state’s General Fund, which supports K-12 schools, state universities and technical institutes, receives 70 percent of net revenue from lotto games such as Lotto America. The state’s Capital Construction Fund receives the remaining 30 percent. This supports the Water and Environment Fund, the Ethanol Fuel Fund, and the State Highway Fund.
The South Dakota Lottery reminds its players that it only takes one ticket to win. Please play responsibly.
