FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Manitowoc Man Claims Winning $3.8 Million Megabucks Ticket

MADISON, Wis. -- Rudolph Baumann is the winner of the $3.8 million Megabucks jackpot from the Wednesday, June 24, 2026, drawing. Baumann claimed his prize at the Wisconsin Lottery office in Madison last week.

Baumann's big win is the largest Wisconsin Lottery prize awarded this year. The winning numbers were 1-8-12-24-26-27.

The Manitowoc resident purchased his winning ticket from a Kwik Trip on 750 E. Green Bay Ave. in Saukville. Wisconsin Lottery retailers who sell winning tickets over $599 receive a two percent Retailer Performance Winning Ticket Incentive, up to $100,000.

The Saukville Kwik Trip win is the second Megabucks jackpot won in 2026. The first time came on January 28 when a player purchased a winning $1.5 million ticket from a Millgate General Store in Burlington.

Not to be confused with the multi-jurisdictional game Mega Millions, Megabucks is only offered in Wisconsin and is one of the longest-running Lotto games in the Badger State. Megabucks players can purchase two plays for $1. The odds of winning the jackpot are 1:6,991,908. Megabucks has drawings on Wednesday and Saturdays. Tickets must be purchased before 9 p.m. on Wednesday and Saturday to be included in that day's drawing.
