Wisconsin began the week on a high note as lottery players in the state enjoyed a combined win of $457,999.
The substantial amount was won through five separate tickets across three different games offered by the Wisconsin Lottery signalling an exciting start to the holiday season.
All or Nothing Game Sees $100,000 Win
A player pocketed $100,000 on December 18 after winning the All or Nothing game. For this game players select a set of eleven different numbers from 1 to 22. The player can choose the numbers or have them randomly selected by a computer. Monday’s winning ticket which matched all 11 numbers was sold at a Kwik Trip in Cuba City, Wisconsin.
Powerball Player Scoops $150,000
Another lucky player became $150,000 richer thanks to Monday’s Powerball draw. The winning numbers of 5, 8, 19, 34, 39 with a Powerball of 26 were on the ticket bought from the Sister Bay Mobil in Sister Bay, Wisconsin. Normally this combination would have won the player $50,000 but due to the 3X Power Play the winnings tripled.
Badger 5 Game Shares $207,999 Among Three Players
The third game bringing good fortune to players was Badger 5 which saw a total win of $207,999. In this game players select five different numbers from 1 to 31 which can be personally chosen or randomly generated by a computer.
On Monday three players each had a winning ticket and will now share the hefty cash prize. The winning tickets were sold at a BP in Cudahy, a Kwik Trip in Watertown and Howard’s Pantry in Howards Grove.
