Brookings man wins Dakota Cash jackpot

A Brookings man has hit the jackpot – the Dakota Cash jackpot that is.  

Damian Mullaney became the South Dakota Lottery’s latest big winner of the more than 252-thousand dollar jackpot, which ranks as the 13th largest in Dakota Cash history.

Mullaney said that he and his girlfriend purchased their winning ticket at The Corner Gas and Goodies in White, which is only about five miles from their house.  He said that he buys lotto tickets on a regular basis, but South Dakota’s exclusive draw game, Dakota Cash, appeals to him due to its odds.

Mullaney found out he had the winning ticket after seeing that there was a winner and checked the numbers posted on the South Dakota Lottery’s page on Facebook.  

He said the jackpot win will go a long way in taking care of some bills.  

Mullaney said he’s not done playing the lottery though. He said he will continue to play in hopes of landing an even greater prize.  

The Dakota Cash game is exclusive to South Dakota with drawings each Wednesday and Saturday.
