Wisconsin Hits Big: Multiple $50,000 Powerball Wins Reported
Lottery excitement is sweeping Wisconsin this week! The Wisconsin Lottery announced on Thursday that three lucky players scored $50,000 each in the latest Powerball drawing. One of those winning tickets was snapped up Wednesday at a Kwik Trip located at 2120 E. Edgewood Drive in Appleton. The other two winners were reported at Clark Station, 1300 W. Layton Ave. in Milwaukee, and another Kwik Trip at 400 E. Verona Ave. in Verona.
All three fortunate tickets matched four of the five main numbers—3, 16, 29, 61, and 69—along with the Powerball number 22. That combination awarded each winner a tidy $50,000 prize. While it’s not the jackpot, it’s still a life-changing sum for most players and a testament to how thrilling Powerball can be even outside the massive jackpot.
In total, Wisconsin players really got in on the action. From the Wednesday drawing alone, 92,331 tickets won prizes ranging from $4 all the way up to $50,000. With Powerball offering nine different prize tiers, it’s no wonder so many people were walking away with something. Whether it’s a small win or a $50,000 payout, each ticket carries that electric feeling of “what if?”
This recent round adds to a string of big wins in Wisconsin. Over the last three Powerball drawings—Saturday, Monday, and Wednesday—the state has seen 13 tickets win $50,000 or more. Clearly, Wisconsinites have been striking gold lately, even if the national jackpot continues to soar.
Speaking of the jackpot, the Powerball prize is now a jaw-dropping $1.7 billion, making headlines nationwide. The massive prize has grown even larger since May 31, with 41 consecutive drawings failing to produce a grand-prize winner. That means players have been chasing the elusive jackpot for months, adding a thrilling sense of anticipation to each drawing.
The next chance to hit it big? Saturday night’s drawing promises to be historic, with the top prize expected to rank as the third-largest jackpot in U.S. lottery history. Whether you’re a regular player or just stopping by for a quick pick, the potential for life-changing winnings is staggering.
For Wisconsin lottery enthusiasts, these recent $50,000 wins are a reminder that you don’t have to hit the jackpot to score big. Even matching just four numbers plus the Powerball can bring in a major payout. And with the national jackpot climbing ever higher, excitement around Powerball continues to build—not just locally, but across the country.
From Appleton to Milwaukee to Verona, lucky ticket holders are now celebrating in style. And for those still chasing their dream, the suspense is part of the fun. Every drawing brings a new chance, and who knows? The next winner could be anyone walking into a gas station, grocery store, or convenience shop, ready to take a chance on a simple ticket.
With so many prizes awarded recently and a historic jackpot on the horizon, now is the perfect time to grab a ticket, dream big, and maybe join the growing list of Wisconsin winners making headlines.
