East Troy Mega Millions

MADISON, Wisc. --  For Wisconsin Lottery Mega Millions players, the new built-in Multiplier feature was on full display following the Tuesday, April 15, 2025, drawing. 3,048 winning tickets were purchased across the Badger State prior to the Tuesday drawing resulting in multiplied prizes of 2X (1,441), 3X (962), 4X (356), 5X (183) and 10X (106).

The largest winning ticket in Wisconsin was for $30,000, which was a $10,000 prize with a 3X Multiplier. The winning ticket matched four of five numbers (6-10-13-24-63), plus the Mega Ball (2). The ticket was sold at Road Ranger on 1946A Energy Dr. in East Troy.

Bob, the Road Ranger store manager was very excited to learn of the big win. He told the Lottery he hopes the winning ticket belongs to one of his regular customers.

The new Mega Millions game features bigger prizes at every non-jackpot prize tier and no break-even prizes. Non-jackpot prizes in the new game range from $10 to $10 million vs. $2 to $1 million in the old game.

According to the national Mega Millions Consortium, Mega Millions jackpots are expected to grow faster and get to higher dollar amounts more frequently in the new game.

The estimated Mega Millions jackpot for the Friday, April 18, 2025, is $112 million.
