A father and son won both prizes in the Minnesota Lottery's All Or Nothing game in a most unusual way.

Both Pedro Ruiz Sr. and his son, Pedro Ruiz Jr., from Halstad, won $100,000 each – one by not matching any winning numbers and the other by matching all of them.

This remarkable win marked the first time since the game's inception in 2012 that such an occurrence happened in the same drawing.

The All Or Nothing game, first launched in Texas, pays out for completely matching or not matching any numbers out of a possible 24.

Ed Van Petten, the Minnesota State Lottery's executive director, described the game as a "fun concept" that diverges from traditional lottery setups.

Terry Rich, from the Iowa Lottery, humorously noted that the game is perfect for those who never match anything in lottery drawings.

The All Or Nothing game is currently played in Texas and Wisconsin, with top prizes of up to $250,000. Some states, like Arizona, Georgia, Iowa, Minnesota, Massachusetts, and North Carolina, used to offer "All or Nothing" games but have since discontinued them.

• Drawings are four times a day, six days a week, at specific times.

• Each ticket costs $2, with jackpot odds of 1 in 2,704,156 and overall winning odds of 1 in 4.5.

The game concept originally grew from player feedback and has become a unique aspect of lottery gaming in these states.
