In the 2016 NFL draft, only two players who actually grew up in the state of North Dakota got drafted. But that was enough to earn North Dakota the title of 'Most NFL Picks Per Capita' according to USA Today.
There are two very happy lottery players in North Dakota today, after it was announced that winning tickets had been sold in both Grafton and Turtle Lake.
With the Powerball jackpot reaching a staggering $1.5 billion, it's going to be incredibly difficult to stay anonymous if you win, unless, of course, you buy your ticket in North Dakota.
If you're lucky enough to win the Powerball jackpot Wednesday night, January 13th, your first purchase could be one of Mandan's most expensive homes, which is currently on the market.
The winner of the largest Powerball prize ever, $590 million, is Gloria C. Mackenzie, 84, of Zephyrhills, Florida. Lottery officials made the announcement in a news conference Wednesday afternoon.
