Jackpot in Pewaukee: $155 million Powerball ticket sold

A winning Powerball ticket worth $155,200,000 was sold in Pewaukee, the Wisconsin Lottery said Thursday.

The winning ticket was purchased at Pewaukee Corner Pump, 1194 W. Capitol Drive.

The winner matched all five of the numbers plus the Powerball in Wednesday's drawing, the lottery said. The numbers were 2, 9, 27, 29 and 42 with a Powerball of 9. The Power Play number was 2.

The ticket is worth $155.2 million when paid out as an annuity, or $93.1 million as a lump sum cash payment, the lottery said.

The winner has 180 days from the drawing to claim the prize in person at the Wisconsin Lottery's office in Madison. Under Wisconsin law, the name of the lottery winner must be made public, said lottery spokesman Casey Langan.

There were a total of 16,277,301 Powerball tickets sold in Wednesday’s drawing.

The lottery said it was the 16th Powerball jackpot ticket sold in Wisconsin since the game was introduced in April of 1992.

It would be the second largest prize for a Wisconsin winner. The largest was a ticket worth $208.8 million sold in August of 2006 at the Ma and Pa Grocery in Fond du Lac to a group of 100 people who called themselves the Miracle 100.

The lottery said the odds of winning the jackpot were one in 292,201,338.

Powerball tickets are sold in 44 states, Washington, D.C., the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, the lottery said.
