Wisconsin Lottery players recently experienced the impact of the new built-in Multiplier feature for Mega Millions during the Tuesday drawing on April 15, 2025. Across Wisconsin, 3,048 tickets were acquired, resulting in multiplied prizes ranging from 2X to 10X.

The highlight of the draw was a $30,000 ticket, derived from a $10,000 prize augmented by a 3X Multiplier. This ticket matched four of the five drawn numbers (6-10-13-24-63), plus the Mega Ball number (2). It was purchased from the Road Ranger located at 1946A Energy Dr. in East Troy. Bob, the Road Ranger store manager, expressed enthusiasm about the win, stating he hopes the winner is a loyal customer.

The revamped Mega Millions game now offers bigger non-jackpot prizes and eliminates break-even prizes. Prizes now range from $10 to $10 million, compared to the previous range of $2 to $1 million. The national Mega Millions Consortium indicates that jackpots are anticipated to increase more rapidly and reach higher amounts more often with these new game features.

The upcoming Mega Millions jackpot for Friday, April 18, 2025, is pegged at an estimated $112 million.

Wisconsin Lottery retailers benefit when they sell winning tickets worth over $599, earning a two percent Retailer Performance Winning Ticket Incentive, capped at $100,000. Winners have 180 days from the drawing date to claim their prizes. The Wisconsin Lottery website and mobile app offer guidance on claiming prizes and ticket verification.
