• WATERTOWN, S.D. (AP) -- A lottery ticket sold in Watertown has won the $64,510 Dakota Cash jackpot.
• South Dakota lottery officials say the ticket matched all five numbers in the Saturday drawing. They are 1, 4, 5, 18 and 34.
• Dakota Cash is played only in South Dakota. The odds of winning the jackpot are one in about 325,000. The jackpot starts again at $20,000 for the next drawing, on Wednesday.
• In Saturday's Hot Lotto drawing, a ticket sold in Sioux Falls matched all five white ball numbers but missed the Hot Ball to win the $10,000 second prize. The odds of doing that are one in about 608,000. The Hot Lotto jackpot sits at just under $2.4 million for the Wednesday drawing.

• PIERRE, S.D. (AP) -- A South Dakota Senate committee is considering a bill that would provide prenatal care to pregnant women who are in the country illegally.
• The Health Committee heard testimony last week on the bill and plans to vote on it Monday. The bill previously was approved by the House.
