Madison, WI - No one hit the Powerball jackpot last night, which is now an estimated $835 million for the Wednesday, September 27 drawing. However, a player did win big in Wisconsin.

A winning $50,000 Powerball ticket was purchased at Meijer Store on 7701 Green Bay Rd. in Kenosha for the September 25 drawing. The winning ticket matched four of five numbers (10-12-22-36-50) plus the Powerball (4).

"This made my day! And it isn’t even my money," said Service Team Lead, Meaney F.

Wednesday's Powerball jackpot drawing will be the 30th drawing during this jackpot run. The current estimated jackpot is inching toward a record total. In the history of the game, Powerball jackpots that have ranked higher than the current amount are above the billion-dollar amount including:

1) $2.04 billion – November 7, 2022, CA
2) $1.586 billion – January 13, 2016, CA, FL, TN
3) $1.308 billion – July 19, 2023, CA

Including yesterday's $50,000 win in Wisconsin, a total of 32 $50,000 winning Powerball tickets have been sold during this jackpot run.

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