PIERRE, S.D. (AP) A Buffalo woman, Bonnie Schmidt, on Friday claimed a $77,039 Dakota Cash jackpot for last Saturday's drawing.

Schmidt purchased her ticket at Henderson oil in Buffalo, which will receive a bonus of about $3,800 for selling the winning ticket.

Schmidt says she didn't know until Tuesday that she had won.

It was the sixth time the jackpot has been won in the Dakota Cash game this year.
