$900,000 Paid Out in Prizes

Five lucky winners claim big prizes last week

 

MADISON, Wis. – Five Wisconsin Lottery players claimed significant prizes last week, ending July on a high note.

On the lotto side, two players claimed their $100K top prizes in All or Nothing. Brookfield's Deborah Hill, won her prize in July 29's drawing.

Rustam Azimov of Brooklyn, NY won $100,000 in the July 27 Powerball drawing. Azimov matched 4 of 5 numbers plus the Powerball.
