Minnesota Lottery profits are dedicated to education, supporting K-12 schools, higher education institutions, and various state aid programs.

Online Lottery Services

Understanding Third-Party Lottery Services

Minnesota does not currently offer official online lottery ticket sales. Some third-party courier services operate in this space, but we recommend purchasing from authorized retailers.

What Are Lottery Courier Services?

Third-party courier services purchase lottery tickets from authorized retailers on behalf of customers. These companies typically provide scanned copies of tickets and handle prize claims for smaller wins.

Important Considerations

  • Verify the service is licensed to operate in Minnesota
  • Understand fee structures and prize claim policies
  • Ensure you receive scanned copies of your physical tickets
  • Know your rights regarding prize claims and disputes
Recommended Option

The safest way to play Minnesota lottery is at authorized retail locations. You'll receive your physical ticket immediately and can verify your purchase on the spot.

Where to Find Retailers

Tax Planning

Minnesota Lottery Tax Calculator

Calculate your Minnesota lottery winnings after federal withholding (24%) and Minnesota state tax (9.85%). See your exact take-home amount for both lump sum and annuity options.

Understanding Lottery Taxes

  • Federal Withholding: The IRS requires 24% federal tax withholding on lottery prizes over $5,000, though you may owe up to 37% depending on your total income.
  • Minnesota State Tax: Minnesota lottery winnings are subject to a 9.85% state tax rate, which is withheld along with federal taxes.
  • Lump Sum vs. Annuity: Choose between receiving your winnings as a one-time cash payment (typically 50-60% of jackpot) or annual payments over 20-30 years.
  • Tax Planning: Large lottery winnings can push you into higher tax brackets. Consult with a tax professional to minimize your tax liability.

Important: Tax rates vary by state and individual circumstances. Our calculator provides estimates based on current withholding rates, but you should consult with a qualified tax advisor for personalized advice on your lottery winnings.

Privacy Rules

Anonymity Rules in Minnesota

Learn about your privacy options and legal requirements if you win the lottery in Minnesota. Understand whether you can remain anonymous and what steps you can take to protect your identity.

Winners Can Remain Anonymous

Minnesota allows lottery winners to remain anonymous. Your name and personal information will not be publicly disclosed by the lottery.

Claiming Through a Trust or LLC

  • Minnesota does not allow trust/LLC claims: Winners must claim prizes in their own name and cannot use a trust or LLC for anonymity purposes.

Anonymity Rules in Detail

Minnesota lets you stay private. This is huge. You can claim your prize without your name splashed across headlines, which protects your family, finances, and peace of mind from the sudden avalanche of requests that typically follow a big win. Here's the catch though. You can't use a trust or LLC to claim anonymously. The state requires the actual person to come forward, though you can have an attorney or financial advisor handle the logistics on your behalf during the claims process. The anonymity protection kicks in once you've claimed your prize. Your identity stays confidential in public records, which is genuinely valuable since lottery wins attract unwanted attention from distant relatives, scammers, and solicitors who somehow track down winners. One important exception exists for jackpots over certain thresholds where federal requirements might override state privacy protections, though Minnesota's generally protective stance gives you solid coverage for most situations.

Privacy Protection Tips

  • Hire a lawyer first thing. They'll handle the claim process and keep your name private where possible.
  • Don't tell anyone except your spouse and attorney. Seriously, loose lips sink ships with sudden wealth.
  • Change your phone number and email before the win becomes public knowledge in lottery records.
  • Set up a separate bank account at a different institution than your regular checking account.
  • Meet with a tax professional immediately to understand federal and state obligations on your winnings.
