MADISON, Wis. -- The Wisconsin Lottery is bringing the Winner Wagon back to Wausau.

September 2, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the Wisconsin Lottery Winner Wagon will be at the Wausau - Hy-Vee parking lot on 220 S. 18th Ave in Wausau for another mobile validations event.

Introduced in 2025, the Winner Wagon has traveled throughout the state, hosting different events to allow players to claim their Lottery prizes in person without having to travel to Madison or Milwaukee. Players can claim Lottery prizes up to $200,000. All prize payments will be made via check only. Winner checks can be cashed at any US Bank location or the player's preferred cashing method.

A fairly new vehicle for the Wisconsin Lottery, the Winner Wagon made its first-ever appearance in Wausau last August. Since then, the Wagon has helped players claim prizes in Appleton, Eau Claire and La Crosse.

• Lottery retailers will cash tickets up to $599 (or the amount that is allowed by the retailer's normal cashing practices).
• Winning tickets $600 to $199,999 need to be claimed in person at the Lottery offices in Madison or Milwaukee.
• Winning tickets over $200,000 can only be claimed at the Lottery office in Madison.
