Madison, Wis. -- For a few Wisconsin Lottery players, the more the merrier was the theme of the holiday weekend.

Winning Fast Play and Badger 5 jackpots, plus two winning $50,000 Powerball tickets, were sold at retailers across Wisconsin on Saturday and Monday.

The excitement started on Saturday when a player won $129,323, or 50% of the Fast Play Progressive Jackpot, instantly after purchasing a 20X Fast Play ticket from Hawley Food Mart on 683 S. Hawley Rd. in Milwaukee. About two hundred miles north, a winning $50,000 Powerball ticket was sold at Krist Food Mart on 4428 N. Branch St. in Wabeno for the December 23 drawing. The winning numbers were 9-14-17-18-53 with a Powerball of 6.
