MANITOWOC — A Manitowoc resident, Rudolph Baumann, won the $3.8 million Wisconsin Lottery Megabucks jackpot from the June 24 drawing and claimed the prize last week at the Wisconsin Lottery headquarters in Madison. He purchased the winning ticket at the Kwik Trip on East Green Bay Avenue in Saukville; the winning numbers were 1, 8, 12, 24, 26 and 27. The prize is the largest Wisconsin Lottery payout so far this year and the second Megabucks jackpot in 2026, following a $1.5 million win in January. The Saukville Kwik Trip will receive the retailer incentive for selling the winning ticket, and the Lottery confirmed routine prize validation and payout procedures took place this week.
