FOND DU LAC – Someone has won big with a lottery ticket bought in Fond du Lac.

Festival Foods, 1125 E. Johnson St., sold the $1 million Powerball winning ticket for Monday's drawing, which matched five numbers, but not the Powerball, according to the Wisconsin Lottery.

The winning numbers were 2-31-45-46-49, while the Powerball was 20. The winner has 180 days to claim their prize.

While outside of Fond du Lac's famed "Miracle Mile" — a stretch of South Main Street businesses between Seventh and 21st streets that have sold a number of winning tickets — Festival Foods previously sold a $1 million winning scratch ticket in 2020, as well as winning scratch and lotto tickets of $10,000 and $30,000 since 2018.

After investing $2 in a Powerball ticket, the odds of winning the $1 million prize are one in 11,688,054.

The estimated jackpot for Wednesday night's drawing is $285 million. The odds of winning the jackpot is one in 292,201,338.
