Oh, a side note.

You'll notice that 1887 is ranked 2nd.

The following year was the Great Blizzard of 1888.

Keep that in mind.

Huh, seems the 1st Ranked of 2005 was followed by the North American Blizzard of 2006.

Better get your hat and mittens ready.

"...

The Great Blizzard of 1888 or Great Blizzard of '88 (March 11 – March 14, 1888) was one of the most severe recorded blizzards in the history of the United States of America. The storm, referred to as the Great White Hurricane, paralyzed the East Coast from the Chesapeake Bay to Maine,[1][2] as well as the Atlantic provinces of Canada.[3] Snowfalls of 10 to 58 inches (25 to 147 cm) fell in parts of New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut, and sustained winds of more than 45 miles per hour (72 km/h) produced snowdrifts in excess of 50 feet (15 m). Railroads were shut down, and people were confined to their houses for up to a week.[3] Railway and telegraph lines were disabled, and this provided the impetus to move these pieces of infrastructure underground. Emergency services were also affected.

"...

The January 2018 North American blizzard was a powerful blizzard that caused severe disruption along the East Coast of the United States and Canada. It dumped snow and ice in places that rarely receive wintry precipitation, even in the winter, such as Florida and Georgia, and produced snowfall accumulations of over 2 feet (61 cm) in the Mid-Atlantic states, New England, and Atlantic Canada. The storm originated on January 3 as an area of low pressure off the coast of the Southeast. Moving swiftly to the northeast, the storm explosively deepened while moving parallel to the Eastern Seaboard, causing significant snowfall accumulations. The storm received various unofficial names, such as Winter Storm Grayson, Blizzard of 2018 and Storm Brody. The storm was also dubbed a "historic bomb cyclone".[2]

Gross MN Lottery Sales Tax?

We've calculated the Sales Tax for years 1995 to 2015 at 6.500%.

But, in 2009 the sales tax changed to 6.875%.

Something seems askew.

If the 6.875% is applicable to the lottery back in 2009, then the state is out about $13,600,000 from 2009 to 2015; possibly more if 2016 and 2017 are figured in... just a note, but maybe an audit is needed?
