One Saukville stop for gas and snacks just turned into the place where someone scored a $3.8 million Megabucks jackpot. A ticket that matched all six numbers in Wednesday's June 24 drawing was sold at the Kwik Trip on East Green Bay Avenue, with winning numbers 1-8-12-24-26-27. It is the largest Wisconsin Lottery payout sold in the state so far this year.
In a June 25 press release, the Wisconsin Lottery confirmed the $3.8 million prize and said the winning ticket was purchased at the Saukville Kwik Trip at 750 E. Green Bay Ave. The Lottery notes that players have 180 days from the draw date to claim winnings and that Megabucks is offered only in Wisconsin.
Local coverage from FOX6 News Milwaukee reports the Saukville store has already built a reputation for selling several large winning tickets since 2017, including both scratch and lotto prizes. According to the station, this was the second Megabucks jackpot won in 2026, following a $1.5 million ticket sold in Burlington on Jan. 28. FOX6 notes the Lottery provided the details and that word of the new win is buzzing among regulars and commuters. The Kwik Trip's spot on Green Bay Avenue means it sees steady local and through traffic, and it now has another big win on its wall of fame.
How Megabucks Works
Megabucks is a long-running, Wisconsin-only lotto game that gives players two chances for $1, with drawings held on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Tickets have to be bought before 9 p.m. on draw days to get into that night's game, and the jackpot starts at $1 million. The odds of hitting the Megabucks jackpot are 1 in 6,991,908, according to the Wisconsin Lottery.
Watch Out For Scams
State consumer officials are quick to remind people that a big jackpot also attracts scammers. Lottery-related schemes remain common, and legitimate agencies will not contact winners to ask for fees, advance payments, or bank details. The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection offers guidance and a hotline for reporting suspected lottery scam attempts at 1-800-422-7128, per DATCP.
The Saukville Kwik Trip, now credited with selling the state's largest lottery ticket so far this year, will likely see a surge of hopeful customers double-checking slips. If you picked up a Megabucks ticket for the June 24 drawing, compare your numbers carefully and follow the Lottery's claims process if you think you are holding the winning ticket.
