Winning Weekend
Significant prizes won in Powerball and Badger 5
 
MADISON, Wis. – Two Wisconsin Lottery players hit it lucky over the weekend, winning notable prizes in Powerball and Badger 5.
 
The Powerball player in Saturday's drawing matched 4 of 5 numbers plus the Powerball. Since they also purchased the Power Play prize multiplier feature, the $50,000 prize was automatically multiplied by two; turning the $50,000 ticket into a $100,000 winner. The numbers drawn were 1, 19, 31, 48, 61, PB-6 and PP-2X. Kwik Trip (980 S. Hickory Street) in Fond du Lac sold the winning ticket.
 
Five Points BP (804 W. Walworth Avenue) in Whitewater sold a winning Badger 5 jackpot ticket in Friday's drawing. The winner matched all five numbers (6, 12, 13, 22, 25) to win the $44,000 jackpot prize.
 
The odds of winning the $50,000 Powerball prize is 1 in 913,130; the odds of winning the 2X Power Play are 1 in 1.8. The odds of winning Badger 5's jackpot are 1 in 169,911.
