Luckiest Lottery Locations in Southeastern Wisconsin

Our map shows you which Wisconsin Lottery retailers doled out the most cash since 2011.

Winning the lottery is pure luck, whether you nab a $2 scratch-off prize or join the Million Dollar Club.

Since May 2011, 41 winning Wisconsin Lottery tickets worth at least $600 have been sold at the store on Durand Avenue. (All winners of at least $600 must supply their name and address to the state.)

Information on winners and names of the locations was provided by the Wisconsin Department of Revenue, which oversees the lottery. Patch matched the name of the store with addresses listed on the lottery’s “retailers” web page.
