There was a huge win for a Wisconsin town after a man won a $1 million top prize.
According to a press release from the official Wisconsin Lottery, a Coleman man won a $1 million jackpot after playing the Ultimate Millions scratch game.
The "small town, big win" ticket was purchased from a local Cougar Shell where the owner proudly displays a sign that says, "$1 million winning ticket sold here!"
The winning ticket was claimed by a man, who chose to stay anonymous, on September 24. According to Wisconsin-demographics.com, Coleman has a population of 726 people.
The owner of the Cougar Shell told the Wisconsin Lottery, "I'm glad it was a local person in our small community that won." For selling the winning ticket, the owners of the Cougar Shell will receive a $20,000 check as part of the Retailer Performance Program Winning Ticket Incentive.
