$181,657 Dakota Cash Jackpot Won

(Pierre) – A single ticket matched all five numbers in Wednesday night’s Dakota Cash lotto game drawing to win the $181,657 jackpot. The winning ticket was sold in Watertown.

The winning numbers for the February 7th Dakota Cash drawing are: 04, 06, 13, 16, and 17.

Lottery director Norm Lingle said the ticket holder should sign the back of the ticket immediately, put it in a safe place, and contact the Lottery office in Pierre (605-773-5770) or Sioux Falls (605-367-5840) to make arrangements to validate the ticket and claim the prize.

The winner has 180 days to claim the prize.

There are now two Dakota Cash jackpot winners who have yet to come forward. Lottery officials still have not yet heard from the winner of the $210,037 jackpot won in the September 30, 2006 drawing. That ticket, sold in Huron, expires March 29, 2007.

Dakota Cash is played only in South Dakota. The odds of winning the jackpot are 1:324,632. The jackpot starts again at $20,000 for the next drawing on Saturday night.
