Million dollar winner - Mike and Lea Snyder Minnesota Millionaire winners
WADENA — Mike Snyder doesn't know what prompted him to buy two lottery tickets on that day in November.
But he has a million reasons to be glad he did.
Snyder stood with his wife Lea, both wearing black sweatshirts with the word "winner" stitched on the front, at the Jefferson Street Holiday Station Tuesday as Minnesota Lottery officials presented them with a large check.
This is the fourth year Snyder purchased a Minnesota Millionaire Raffle game ticket. He typically buys one. But one Nov. 18, he decided to get two and spent $20. The second ticket was the winner.
