As the Mega Millions jackpot climbed to record-setting levels last week, a lucky Wisconsin player won $1,000,000 in the Friday, July 29, 2022, drawing. The winning ticket was purchased at Lighthouse Corner, 1005 Crooks Ave., in Kaukauna. The winner has not yet come forward to claim their prize.
“We are so excited,” said Lighthouse Corner co-owner, Evelyn Defatte-Singh. “I was the one who sold him the winning ticket. The winner is a regular, local customer and we’re thrilled for him and his family.”
For Friday’s drawing, a single, jackpot-winning ticket of $1.337 billion was sold in Illinois. The winning ticket ended as the second-highest Mega Millions jackpot and third largest jackpot prize in United States history.
