Saving for a Rainy Day

Badger 5 player claims jackpot prize

 

MADISON, Wis. – One Wisconsin Lottery player claimed her half of a $133,000 Badger 5 jackpot.

 

Marlene Pagel of Appleton matched all five numbers (5, 7, 15, 18 and 21) in July 6's drawing to take home $66,500. Pagel purchased her winning ticket at Festival Foods (1200 W. Northland Avenue) in Appleton. When she went back to check her ticket, she was told to redeem it at the Lottery. She was excited since that never happened to her before; it meant her prize was over $599! When asked, Pagel said she's saving her winnings for a rainy day.

 

Another player, who has yet to come forward, won the other half of the jackpot. This player bought the winning ticket at Handy Plus Gas (12511 Antioch Road) in Trevor.

 

The odds of winning the Badger 5 jackpot are 1 in 169,911.
