MADISON, WI (WTAQ) – A Neenah man has claimed a $1.9 million winning Megabucks ticket from September 5th.
Leonard McIlhone claimed the winning ticket in the past week and says he’s a long-time Megabucks player. McIlhone bought the winning ticket at Mobile West on 1340 Gillingham Rd. in Neenah. McIlhone says he plans to put in his two weeks and retire early from his job.
“Wow, what a win for Leonard and Mobil!” exclaimed Wisconsin Lottery Director Cindy Polzin. “Megabucks is a Wisconsin-only jackpot game that players really love and we’re happy this long-time player hit the jackpot.”
The last Megabucks jackpot of $10.7 million was won on April 25, 2020, and claimed by a Merrillian man.
Wisconsin Lottery retailers who sell winning tickets of over $599 receive a 2 percent incentive of up to $100,000. Mobil will receive $38,000 for selling the ticket to McIlhone.
