Lucky For Life Second Prize Winner Purchased in Sturgis

For the second time in less than a week, the South Dakota Lottery drawings resulted in “luck that lasts a lifetime”.

Wednesday’s Lucky for life drawing resulted in a second prize winner. The winning ticket was purchased at Kwik Mart, which is located at 2217 Junction Ave. in Sturgis.

The winning ticket matched 5 of 5 winning numbers and was just the Lucky Ball away from a jackpot win. The winning numbers are 1, 20, 30, 37 and 46 with a Lucky Ball of 1.

Lucky for Life’s second prize gives the winning player the option of $25,000 a year for life or a one-time payment of $390,000.

Wednesday’s win comes off the heels of Friday’s Lucky for Life drawing also featuring a second prize winner. Friday’s winning ticket was purchased at Boyd’s Drug Mart in Rapid City.

The South Dakota Lottery advises the winner to sign the back of the ticket immediately and consult with a financial advisor before claiming the prize. The prize may be claimed by visiting any South Dakota Lottery redemption center. The South Dakota Lottery’s Rapid City validation center is located at 221 Mall Dr., Suite 103.

Wednesday’s second prize winner marks the 12th Lucky for Life second prize winner since the game’s South Dakota debut in 2017.

The Lucky for Life drawings are just a part of an exciting conclusion to October for South Dakota Lottery players. Friday’s Mega Millions drawing has a $680 million jackpot, which is the ninth largest in the game’s history.

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 Lucky for Life. 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.
