FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
$2 Million Winning Scratch Ticket Claimed by Waterford Woman
Top prize won playing Cash Explosion

MADISON, Wis. -- Jenifer Barker of Waterford was a lucky winner of $2 million from a Cash Explosion instant scratch ticket she purchased from Kwik Trip on 10923 W. Lapham St. in West Allis. Barker claimed her prize at the Wisconsin Lottery Madison office last week.

Cash Explosion is a Wisconsin Lottery $50 instant scratch game that debuted on August 23, 2024, with two top prizes of $2 million. Barker is the game's first top prize winner since it launched.

2024 has been a good year for Lottery wins at the West Allis Kwik Trip. In addition to the Cash Explosion winning ticket last week, the Lottery retailer has also sold two $10,000 winning scratch tickets earlier this year. In fact, since 2020 the store has sold several big winning scratch tickets including four $10,000 winners, one $20,000 winner, a $1 million winner, and a $2 million winner.

Wisconsin Lottery retailers who sell winning tickets over $599 receive a two percent Retailer Performance Program Winning Ticket Incentive, up to $100,000. For selling the winning Cash Explosion ticket, the West Allis Kwik Trip will receive a $40,000 incentive.

The Cash Explosion game offers 11 different prize levels including two second tier prizes of $100,000 and two third tier prizes of $10,000 that are still available.

The odds of winning Cash Explosion's $2 million top prize are 1:280,000. The odds to win the game's $100,000 or $10,000 prizes are also 1:280,000.
