CRIVITZ, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — A gas station in Crivitz is celebrating its largest lottery win.
According to the Wisconsin Lottery, a $110,000 Badger 5 ticket was sold at the Crivitz Shell on 13 S. Hwy 141 for the Wednesday drawing. The winning numbers were 15-17-18-24-29.
“I didn’t know about the win this morning. I called our Lottery field marketing representative about something else, and he told me a Badger 5 jackpot ticket was purchased from the store,” said Crivitz Shell Manager Roxanne Kopp in a news release. “I was so excited. I couldn’t believe it. It’s the biggest winning ticket we’ve ever sold.”
Badger 5 is a Wisconsin-only lottery game, drawn daily after 9 p.m. The odds of winning the Badger 5 jackpot are 1 in 169,911. Tickets must be purchased before 9 p.m. to be included in that day’s drawing.
Kopp said Badger 5 is a popular game at Crivitz Shell.
“I can’t believe how many tickets we sell sometimes. The bigger prize, the more people come in. Hopefully, the winner is someone local,” she said.
Players have 180 days from the drawing date to claim their winnings. Wisconsin Lottery retailers who sell winning tickets over $599 receive a 2% retailer performance program winning ticket incentive, up to $100,000.
This is the fourth time in just over two weeks a Badger 5 jackpot has been won in Wisconsin.
