MILTON — Shawn Flyte of Milton came forward last week to claim a winning $1 million Super Millions ticket at the Madison Lottery office, capturing the second of three top prizes offered by the Wisconsin Lottery scratch game.
Flyte purchased the ticket at Casey’s General Store on 464 S. John Paul Rd. in the southern Wisconsin community of Milton.
“We are all very excited about this win,” said Store Manager, Heidi Rutdnitzki in a news release. “As far as I know, it’s the biggest winning ticket we’ve ever sold. It’s amazing.”
Prior to the Super Millions winner, the largest winning ticket sold by Casey’s since 2017 was a $25,000 Badger 5 jackpot.
Launched on January 26, Super Millions is a $30 scratch ticket that offers prizes ranging from $30 to $1,000,000. The game’s first top prize was won just over a month ago by a player who purchased his winning ticket at Mega Holiday in Eau Claire. Super Millions has one top prize remaining.
The odds of winning the top prize of $1 million in Super Millions are 1:160,000.
Wisconsin Lottery retailers who sell winning tickets over $599 receive a two percent Retailer Performance Winning Ticket Incentive, up to $100,000.
The odds of winning a Badger 5 jackpot are 1:169,911.
