So Rep. Joe Atkins of Inver Grove Heights wants the law changed so that a winner will get more opportunity to be reminded of the win.
"If you hear that it was purchased at the local gas station where you buy all your lottery tickets, you're immediately going to check your lottery tickets," Rep. Atkins explained.
"If you just simply hear it was bought in Minnesota there's not that prompt, not that strong reminder to check the numbers again."
