MADISON, Wis. -- Fond du Lac’s storied history of Lottery luck added a new chapter following the Wednesday, February 18, 2026, Badger 5 drawing. A jackpot-winning ticket of $128,000 was sold at Stop N Go on 471 N. Park Ave, matching five numbers: 2-4-6-12-24.

The win represents the largest winning ticket ever sold by the Lottery retailer. It is also the third Badger 5 jackpot of more than $100,000 won in February.

Stop N Go Manager, Kelly Moore said, "Badger 5 is a popular game here. We sell quite a few Badger 5 tickets."

Located a few blocks from Fond du Lac's Miracle Mile, which earned its nickname when four multi-million-dollar winning Lottery tickets were sold at various area locations during the 1990s, Stop N Go joins retailers Philly's on 4th Grocery & Deli and Hansen BP as notable winning locations.

"We're on the opposite side of the Miracle Mile. Hopefully this win is the start of a Miracle Mile on the north side of Fond du Lac," added Moore.

Wisconsin Lottery retailers who sell winning tickets over $599 receive a two percent Retailer Performance Program Winning Ticket Incentive, up to $100,000. 

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 see if their ticket is a winner by using the Lottery's mobile app, available on the App Store or Google Play.
