FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
$151,000 Badger 5 Jackpot Win Split Two Ways
Winning tickets sold in Brodhead and Kenosha

Split Badger 5 Kenosha and Brodhead

Madison, Wis. -- A snowstorm wasn't the only thing to hit Wisconsin last night. A $151,000 Badger 5 jackpot was split between winning tickets sold at County Line Beverage on 4141 County T in Brodhead and Meijer Gas Station on 7735 Green Bay Rd. in Kenosha for the January 8 drawing.

Monday’s winning numbers were 8-16-24-25-29. Because the jackpot was split two ways, each ticket will win $75,500.

"Hopefully, the winner is a regular," said John Kelly, owner of County Line Beverage. "Since I've owned the store, we had a $90,000 Badger 5 winner several years ago, so this is the second largest winning ticket we've sold."

"When Badger 5 gets over $100,000, the excitement level always picks up."

Wisconsin Lottery retailers who sell winning tickets over $599 receive a two percent Retailer Performance 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/winners/claim-prize.

Players can check to see if their ticket is a winner by going to wilottery.com or using the Lottery's mobile app, available on the App Store or Google Play.

The Badger 5 lotto game is drawn daily after 9 p.m. The odds of winning the Badger 5 jackpot are 1:169,911. Tickets must be purchased before 9 p.m. to be included in that day's drawing.
