$1 Million Winning Mega Millions Ticket Sold In Wisconsin

DANE COUNTY, WI -- One lucky Wisconsin Mega Millions player is holding a $1 million ticket from the Tuesday, Oct. 23 Mega Millions drawing, while a ticket sold in South Carolina won the $1.537 billion jackpot.

The history-making Mega Millions jackpot crushed the former Mega Millions record of $656 million set in

March 2012. "While the Mega Millions jackpot has been won, let's not forget that there is still another huge
jackpot up for grabs with the Powerball jackpot estimated at $620 million for tonight's drawing," said Cindy
Polzin, Wisconsin Lottery Director. "As always, I encourage you to have fun playing, but please play
responsibly."

The $1 million winning Mega Millions ticket from Wisconsin was purchased at Kwik Trip at 525 Springdale
Street in Mount Horeb. The winner matched five out of five numbers, but not the Mega Ball. Tuesday's winning Mega Millions numbers were 5, 28, 62, 65, and 70 with a Mega Ball of 5. The Megaplier number was 3.

Winners at all prize levels have 180 days to claim their prize by mail or in-person at the Lottery’s Madison or
Milwaukee offices. The $1 million ticket must be claimed at the Lottery's headquarters in Madison.
The next Mega Millions drawing will be held on Friday, October 26. That jackpot is estimated at $40 million.
