Rudolph Baumann of Manitowoc won the Rudolph Baumann Wisconsin Lottery win after matching all six numbers in the June 24 Megabucks drawing. The prize was $3.8 million.
The winning numbers were 1, 8, 12, 24, 26 and 27. Megabucks drawings are held twice a week on Wednesdays and Saturdays, and players pick six numbers from 1-49.

Baumann bought the ticket at a Kwik Trip in Saukville, just north of Milwaukee. Wisconsin lottery retailers that sell a winning ticket of more than $599 earn a 2% incentive, up to $100,000.
Players in Megabucks win the jackpot by matching all six numbers. The jackpot starts at $1 million, while matching five, four or three numbers earns smaller prizes. The odds of hitting the top prize are one in 7 million.
Wisconsin Lottery record
The win gave Baumann the largest Wisconsin Lottery prize awarded in 2026 and made his ticket only the second Megabucks jackpot claimed that year. The first 2026 jackpot came on Jan. 28, when a $1.5 million ticket was sold at Millgate General Store in Burlington.
Baumann's payout was far below the Wisconsin Lottery record of $22.2 million, set by John Rumpel in 2015. It also came after a Megabucks jackpot of $7.1 million in Nov. 2025, showing how the game can build from a $1 million starting point to a much larger prize when no one hits all six numbers.

Baumann took home $3.8 million late last month after winning the Wisconsin lottery. The source does not say whether he has already claimed the prize or what he plans to do with it, leaving the cash decision with him.
For players in Megabucks, the practical takeaway is simple: the top prize goes to the ticket that matches all six numbers, and this one belonged to Rudolph Baumann of Manitowoc.
