WAUSAU MAN CLAIMS $1 MILLION PRIZE
May 31, 2012
Joel Goulet of Wausau is Wisconsin's third May millionaire.
Goulet has validated a $1,000,000 winning ticket from the Friday, May 25 Mega Millions jackpot drawing. After taxes, he received a lump sum cash payment of $672,500.
His is the third ticket sold in Wisconsin this month worth at least $1 million. On May 16 a Chilton woman won $1 million in Powerball. That same night a Milwaukee man won a $2 million Powerball prize.
Goulet purchased a single Mega Millions quick-pick ticket and the Megaplier prize multiplier at Fast Break Mobil, 320 W. Thomas Avenue. His ticket matched the five regular winning numbers in the May 25th drawing to win $250,000. But, with the Megaplier the $250,000 winning ticket turned into a $1 million winner.
The May 25th Mega Millions winning numbers were 09, 15, 21, 40 and 54. The Mega Ball was 11 and the Megaplier was 04.
For selling Goulet's ticket Fast Break Mobil earns a winning ticket commission of $20,000. Lottery retailers who sell winning tickets worth $600 or more earn the equivalent of 2% of the prize, up to a maximum commission of $100,000.
