Adam Prock is the Executive Director of the Minnesota Lottery. Speaking about the history making win while visiting the store the Holiday Gas Station, he said: “We are really excited. In Minnesota. It is absolutely a life-changing dollar amount, that’s for certain.“ No one has yet come forward to claim their jackpot win.
