Last year's big winner

The Wisconsin Lottery also held the May Madness Raffle in 2023. The top prize-winning ticket for that drawing was sold by a Kwik Trip location in Turtle Creek, which happens to have a population of 1,042 people!

The top prize-winning ticket from that raffle happened to be the largest winning Lottery ticket the retailer had ever sold.

How does the Wisconsin Lottery share its revenue?

The Wisconsin Lottery has managed the Lottery fund since 1988. The Lottery has generated more than $19.1 billion in total revenue during that time.

So, how does the Lottery distribute that revenue? Of that $19.1 billion in revenue, the Lottery has given back 93% of it to winners, retailers, and Wisconsin homeowners. For a more complete breakdown:

• $10.8 billion has been distributed back to winners in prizes
• $5.7 billion has been allocated to funding property tax credits for eligible Wisconsin homeowners.

Wisconsin state law requires that at least 50% of total revenue must be dedicated to prize winnings. Since 1988, the Lottery has given 57% of its revenue back in prizes.
