Powerball winner selling South Dakota home he built with prize money

Property among most expensive ranches in South Dakota

A South Dakota cowboy who won a $232.1 million Powerball prize is looking to sell the impressive ranch he built with some of his winnings.

Neal Wanless was just 23 in 2009 when he won the Powerball jackpot, which paid out $88 million in cash after taxes.

Now, Wanless’s $41.15 million ranch is among the most expensive ranches in South Dakota. It’s named Bismarck Ranch after a trail that dates back to the Black Hills gold rush.

The 47,883-acre property is located 51 miles north of Rapid City and spans from the Belle Fourche River to grassy hills, according to the listing with Robb Nelson of Hall and Hall. It has four homes Wanless added, including luxury homes he built for himself and for his mother.
