Priscilla Hollis of Arlington became the Wisconsin Lottery’s 66th Megabucks millionaire, and all because of bananas. When she stopped to buy some at the Kwik Trip in Windsor on April 25th, 2009, she also decided to buy some quick pick lottery tickets. And what she walked out with was a Megabucks ticket worth $5.6 million. Priscilla and her husband Jim decided to go for the cash option, which will be worth about $2.8 million after taxes. Now that’s a lot of bananas.

Car trouble brought them together. The Lottery kept them that way. And now these three friends are celebrating as the state’s newest millionaires. Richard Duening, Barbara Knauf and Curtis Lienau of Sheboygan won the $9.1 million Megabucks jackpot on November 8th. They chose the jackpot’s $5.1 million lump sum cash pay out. After taxes they will each receive $1,169,120. Duening and Lienau are long-time fishing buddies. Knauf walked into Duening’s Sheboygan auto body shop one day five years ago and overheard their discussions about playing the lottery. The three have been meeting for coffee and playing together ever since. Duening will keep operating his auto body business. Lienau will retire from his grocery store job in January. Knauf is already retired. Right now, they have no big plans. “It’s just good to know we can take care of our families and feel a little more financially secure in these tough economic times,” Knauf said. |
