4 People Just Won $171,000 Playing One Game In Wisconsin

They say you should always 'get while the getting is good' and if that also rings true for taking a chance at winning money, then there is a game in Wisconsin that you may want to try because it's been on a hot streak.

Badger 5 is a Wisconsin Lottery game in which the player selects five different numbers from 1 to 31. These numbers can be player-selected or they can be randomly selected by a computer.

Every day after 9:00 p.m., 5 winning numbers are randomly selected by a drawing and the jackpot is won by having all 5 winning numbers on a Badger 5 ticket.

If other players have all 5 winning numbers, then the jackpot is divided evenly among all players. Badger 5 prizes are approximately 50.0% of sales and jackpots not won are carried forward to the next drawing.
