Frequently Asked Questions - Wisconsin Lottery

Why does it seem like all the winners are coming from a specific area of the state?


  • Wisconsin Lottery winning tickets are distributed randomly. We have no control over who wins or where the winner is from.

  • Areas in Wisconsin with higher populations tend to have more retailers. These areas may also have more sales and more winners.

  • Since winners are chosen randomly, a city or area may have many winners in a short time frame. Other times, a city or area may go a long period of time without big winners.

  • View winners on the Big Winners webpage.
