Local Doc Hits a Jackpot

A local doctor won't have to worry over how to pay for his next stethoscope.

Dr. Brett Nienaber of Pequot Lakes cashed in as part of the pay-out on the recent Mega Millions prize.  The first line on the five-line quick-pick ticket matched the first five numbers on his ticket.  As a result, he won $250 thousand dollars in the March 30th drawing.

Dr. Neinaber purchased his winning ticket at a convenience store in Baxter.

Minnesota produced four other quarter million dollar winners.
