$4.3 million Megabucks ticket won by Wild Rose man

The largest winning Wisconsin Lottery Prize of 2024 has been claimed. Richard Kiesner from Wild Rose in Waushara County, claimed the winning $4.3 million Megabucks ticket at the Wisconsin Lottery offices last week. A long-time player, Kiesner has been playing the game since it began in 1992.

The winning $4.3 million Megabucks ticket was chosen in the July 17th drawing and according to the Wisconsin Lottery, is the largest prize won in 2024 so far.

Not to be confused with the national game, Mega Millions, Megabucks is only offered in Wisconsin. Kiesner purchased his Megabucks ticket from a Kwik Trip in Redgranite. The Redgranite Megabucks win is the second time in 2024 the game’s jackpot was hit. In February, a $3.5 million winning Megabucks ticket was sold in Oak Creek.

Megabucks offers two plays for $1. The lotto game has drawings on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
