MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Someone in Milwaukee woke up a millionaire on Wednesday, Dec. 4. The winning one-million-dollar ticket was sold at El Rey Food Mart in Milwaukee's south side.
The Manager of El Rey says sometime in the early afternoon on Monday, someone matched all five winning numbers (52-60-61-66-67) but not the Mega Ball (23).
He says the store has never had a winning ticket before.
The Wisconsin Lottery officials are coming on Thursday to confirm El Rey is the correct store and find out the winner.
"Well, it's very exciting we have a lot of lottery players myself included it was not me so I'm excited to see which of my fantastic customers won the million-dollar jackpot," said Chad, Manager of El Rey.
The current jackpot stands at $579 million.
The odds of winning a $1,000,000 Mega Millions prize are 1:12,607,307. The odds of winning the Mega Millions jackpot are 1:302,575,350.
