(Madison)— Karen Wendricks of De Pere recently won $250,000 playing the Wisconsin Lottery’s $20 “Money Maker” instant scratch game.
The game offers players a chance to win up to 25 times by matching the numbers they scratch with the ticket’s winning numbers. The game has more than $14 million in cash prizes, with a top prize of $250,000.
Wendricks purchased her winning “Money Maker” ticket at Country Crossroads, 6814 Cty. Hwy. W in Greenleaf.
