Milwaukee Woman Strikes Gold in State Lottery, Wins $1 Million WindfallMilwaukee Woman Strikes Gold in State Lottery, Wins $1 Million Windfall A Milwaukee woman has become an instant millionaire after winning the $1 million top prize in Wisconsin’s Mega Millions lottery draw. The lucky winner, whose identity has been kept anonymous, purchased the winning ticket at a local convenience store. According to the Wisconsin Lottery, the woman correctly matched all five white balls (5-29-32-45-47) but missed the Mega Ball (23). While she didn’t win the $38 million jackpot, she still secured a substantial $1 million prize. “I can’t believe I actually won,” said the Milwaukee woman, who is a regular lottery player. “I never thought I’d be the one to hit it big.” The woman plans to use her winnings to pay off her mortgage, buy a new car, and invest in her future. She also hopes to donate a portion of her prize to local charities. “Winning this money is life-changing,” she said. “I’m so grateful for this opportunity, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds.” The retailer that sold the winning ticket, the 7-Eleven in Milwaukee, will receive a $10,000 bonus from the Lottery for selling the winning ticket. The Mega Millions lottery is played in 45 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The jackpot starts at $20 million and can grow to hundreds of millions of dollars. Players match five white balls and one Mega Ball to win the jackpot, or they can win smaller prizes by matching fewer numbers. The Wisconsin Lottery is a government-run agency that offers a variety of lottery games, including Powerball, Mega Millions, and Lotto America. Proceeds from the lottery are used to support education in Wisconsin.
