The Franklin Kwik Trip has an extensive history of significant wins over the past six years. It has sold scratch tickets worth $50,000, $25,000, $12,000 and $10,000 as well as Lotto ticket wins including a $50,000 Powerball and a substantial SuperCash! win of $350,000.

Badger 5 draws occur daily after 9 p.m., with tickets needing purchase before this time for inclusion in that day's drawing. The odds of securing the Badger 5 jackpot stand at 1:169,911.
