The New Year dawned pretty happy indeed for two Minnesota Millionaire Raffle players, each of whom won $1 million, the Minnesota Lottery announced Monday.
The winning tickets were purchased at Coborn's grocery store in Delano and the Kwik Trip convenience story in Dundas. Each store earned a $5,000 bonus for selling a winning ticket, lottery officials said.
