$100,000 Winning Powerball Ticket Purchased in Merrill
MADISON, Wis. -- A Wisconsin Lottery retailer sold a winning $100,000 Powerball ticket for the Wednesday, September 16, 2026, drawing. The lucky ticket was purchased at a BP on 1201 Grand Ave. in Merrill. It successfully matched four white balls (2-21-24-25-64) and the Powerball (7). Thanks to the $1 Power Play feature, the standard $50,000 prize was doubled by a 2X multiplier.
Nobody matched all five numbers and the Powerball last night so the estimated jackpot for Saturday's drawing is $298 million.

For the Merrill BP, the winning ticket is the largest ever sold by the store.
