Brenda Fobbe of Maple Lake stopped at Roger’s Amoco in Maple Lake last week to purchase a loaf of bread and left with a $100,000 winning Fire ‘N’ Dice scratch ticket.
Fobbe played the ticket in her car. As she scratched the ticket, she saw that she had won and then began to uncover the prize.
“I thought, ‘Oh, I won $10. No, I won $100. Oh my, I won $1,000.’ Then I uncovered the fourth zero and I scratched the rest of it really quickly. When I saw it was $100,000, I thought I must have done something wrong and I read the directions again.”
Fobbe took the ticket back into the store to show the store employee and to verify that it was a winner.
“I said to her, ‘I think I won.’ She said, ‘Did you win $100?’ No, more. ‘$1,000?’ No, I think I won $100,000. We all screamed,” Fobbe recalled.
Fobbe claimed the prize at the Lottery’s headquarters in Roseville on May 20.
The overall odds of winning a prize by playing the $5 Fire ‘N’ Dice game are 1 in 3.73. There are currently four of five $100,000 top prizes remaining to be claimed.
Proceeds from the Minnesota State Lottery provide benefits for Minnesota. Since 1990, the Lottery has raised more than $1.8 billion for state programs. The General Fund has received over $1.1 billion to help fund education, public safety and health and human services. Another $713 million has funded environmental programs.
