Jackpot Winners

Napolean Elvord proved himself a very lucky man when he was found to be the winner of a $14.3 million Megabucks jackpot, sold at Kelley Williamson Mobil on E. Washington Avenue in Madison for January 14, 2012. First, he accidentally purchased the wrong ticket at the store. Then, he thought the winning ticket was for a different drawing. After talking with the store manager, he realized, in fact, that he was Wisconsin 71st Megabucks winner. Mr. Elvord, who suffers from kidney failure, took the $6.87 million lump sum payment, which he plans to use for weekly dialysis treatments and an eventual transplant.

Lisa Gruber of Spring Green became the Wisconsin Lottery's newest Megabucks millionaire in October 2010, when she was the sole winner on a $3.1 Million ticket. Gruber purchased her ticket at Riteway Plaza on State Road 14 in Spring Green, becoming the 70th Megabucks jackpot winner in Wisconsin.

Paul Sims of Mequon became the Wisconsin Lottery's newest million-dollar winner in June 2010, when his $1 Quick Pick ticket earned him a $2.27 million dollar prize. Sims bought his ticket at Dennis Mobil Mart on Capitol Drive in Brookfield and chose to take his winnings as a lump-sum cash option worth $1.36 Million.

Albert Mohrbacher, Jr. became the Wisconsin Lottery's 68th Megabucks winner with his March 27th ticket bought at the Piggly Wiggly on Spring St. in Racine. Mohrbacher had actually cut down on his lottery spending at his wife's request and had limited himself to just a few Megabucks tickets a week, when one of those tickets won him a $7.5 million jackpot. Mohrbacher chose the jackpot's $4.2 million cash lump sum, and will take home $2.8 million after taxes.

Douglas Miron of Marinette became the Wisconsin Lottery's 15th Powerball winner in October of 2009, when he matched all six numbers for a jackpot worth $31.4 Million. Miron purchased his ticket at City Limits on Highway 180 in Marinette, and took the lump sum cash option of $16.7 Million.
