Waseca, Minnesota: I was soaking wet just from the nerves.
Waseca Man Wins $180.1 Million Powerball Jackpot, Largest Lottery Prize Ever Won in Minnesota!
A Waseca man won the $180.1 million Powerball jackpot from Saturday’s drawing the largest Powerball jackpot ever won in Minnesota. It’s just really amazing, said Paul and Sue Rosenau as they arrived
at the Lottery’s headquarters.
The couple discovered their win May 4, the night after the drawing, while watching
the 10 p.m. news. We were in our jammies and ready to go to bed, Paul recalled. But
after realizing that the numbers on their single line quick-pick ticket matched the winning
Powerball numbers on the screen, their plans quickly changed. The couple went to Sue’s place
of employment to use the computer to double check their ticket. The numbers on the ticket
matched all winning numbers.
Still in disbelief, Paul had to double check the winning numbers again in
the newspaper the next morning. He was thinking that the numbers were going to
change overnight, joked Sue. I was checking the paper for an hour, Paul added.
I was soaking wet just from the nerves.
It’s something you just never think will happen, Sue continued.
The Rosenaus have elected to take the $88 million cash option ($59.6 million after tax withholding).
Paul is employed as a heavy equipment operator for BCM Grading and Excavating Company in Faribault, a subsidiary of Met-Con Companies. Sue works as a project and communications assistant.
winning Powerball lotto ticket was sold at Hy-Vee Gas, located at 1930 Grant St. in Faribault,MN..
