Madison, Wis. -- When Bristol BP/Golden Country LLC General Manager Lisa Biederman opened on Thursday morning, she had no idea the store had sold a winning $2 million Powerball ticket. Located on 20015 93rd St. in Bristol, Biederman's employer and one other retailer in Georgia were the only two locations in the United States to sell winning Powerball tickets of $1 million or more for the Wednesday, August 28 drawing.

The winning Wisconsin ticket matched five of five numbers (5-33-47-50-64) but not the Powerball (20). The ticket included the $1 Power Play option turning a $1 million prize into $2 million because of the 2X Power Play multiplier.

Biederman said, "It wasn't until the lottery security staff and our field marketing representative called me early this morning that I found out about the big win."

The $2 million ticket is the largest prize Bristol BP/Golden Country LLC has ever sold. In 2023, the store sold an $18,000 Badger 5 jackpot and in 2018, they sold a winning $50,000 Powerball ticket.

Biederman added, "This is so exciting. Powerball is a popular game here. We have a lot of regulars that play it weekly."

Wisconsin Lottery retailers who sell winning tickets over $599 receive a two percent Retailer Performance Winning Ticket Incentive, up to $100,000.

Players have 180 days from the draw dates to claim their winnings. Information on how to claim a prize is available on wilottery.com. Players can also check to see if their ticket is a winner by using the Lottery's mobile app, available on the App Store or Google Play.

Powerball drawings are Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 9:59 p.m. Tickets must be purchased before 9 p.m. to be included in the drawing.

The odds of winning a $1 million Powerball prize are 1:11,688,054. For the $1 Power Play add-on option, the odds of a 2X multiplier being drawn on Wednesday night were 1:1.8.

The odds of winning a $50,000 Powerball prize are 1:913,130 and the odds of winning a Badger 5 jackpot are 1:169,911.
