$3 Million Lottery Ticket Sold At New Berlin Gas Station

NEW BERLIN, WI — A Mega Millions lottery ticket worth $3 million was bought at the Quick Pick BP gas station in New Berlin Tuesday, a news release from the Wisconsin Lottery said.

Although the odds of winning many games are less than one in a million, August provided Wisconsin Mega Million buyers with a "hot month," Wisconsin Lottery said. The ticket sold Tuesday in New Berlin is the 4th one worth more than $1 million, the news release said.

The gas station that sold the ticket, located at 14001 National Avenue, will also see a benefit from the ticket. The BP station gets $60,000 as part of a retailer incentive program, the news release said.

The winning ticket was a Mega Millions Megaplier with numbers: 8, 14, 31, 58, 68. The megaplier tripled the value of the ticket to a total $3 million. After taxes, the lucky winner can expect to see about 30 percent of their winnings gone to state and federal taxes.

"It's been fun to see August filled with so many winning moments for Wisconsin Lottery players," said Director of Wisconsin Lottery, Cindy Polzin. "We encourage everyone who played Mega Millions last night to check their tickets carefully.
