Burlington Win

MADISON, Wis. -- Life in Wisconsin's Chocolate City got a lot sweeter last night.

A winning $1.5 million Megabucks ticket was sold by the Millgate General Store at 151 Millgate Dr. in Burlington for the Wednesday, January 28, 2026, drawing. The winning numbers were 10-13-31-38-41-43.

Millgate General Store Manager, Jorgen F. was thrilled to learn of the win.

"We're so happy to sell a jackpot winner. It's very exciting."

The $1.5 million Megabucks ticket is the largest winning ticket ever purchased at the Wisconsin Lottery retailer. In 2023, the store sold a winning $37,000 Badger 5 jackpot ticket.

The Millgate General Store win is the first Megabucks jackpot won in 2026. The last time the jackpot was hit was on November 19, 2025, when a winning $7.1 million ticket was sold in Wausau.

Players have 180 days from the draw date to claim their winnings. Information on how to claim a prize is available at wilottery.com. Players can also check their tickets using the Wisconsin Lottery mobile app, available on the App Store or Google Play.
