(Sioux Falls, SD) — It’s been a hot streak for South Dakota Lottery players. A two-million-dollar Powerball winner in Mobridge on Saturday came just two weeks after a four-million Lotto America win in Vermillion. While big wins like these are rare, they’re creating buzz as the Powerball jackpot climbs to 815-million dollars — the seventh-largest in history. State Lottery rep Wade LaRoche says high jackpots drive ticket sales across the state, especially in bigger cities. Retailers are winning too with last weekend’s Powerball ticket earning one shop a 25-thousand-dollar bonus. The next Powerball draw is tonight.
