$50K lottery ticket sold at Greenwood Kwik Trip

While the Powerball jackpot continued to grow (at an estimated $865 million as of March 26), two winning $50,000 Powerball tickets were purchased from Wisconsin retailers for the Saturday, March 23, drawing.

The $50,000 winning tickets were sold at Kwik Trip on 206 S. Main St. in Greenwood and at Metro Quick Mart on 281 S. Main St. in Fond du Lac. Both tickets matched four of five numbers (6-23-25-34-51) plus the Powerball (3).

The Powerball jackpot has been climbing since the beginning of the year. The jackpot was last hit on New Year’s Day in Michigan, with an $842.4 million jackpot.

The Powerball jackpot is not the only colossal lotto prize in play this week. The estimated Mega Millions jackpot for the Tuesday drawing is $1.1 billion. It is the first time Powerball and Mega Millions simultaneously have advertised jackpots at $800 million or above.

Between Powerball and Mega Millions, the advertised jackpots are a combined $1.9 billion. The combined advertised jackpots have only been higher two times before: in 2018, at $2.2 billion; and 2022, at $2.05 billion.

The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are 1:292,201,338 and the odds of winning a $50,000 Powerball prize are 1:913,130.
