Packers prize package worth $50K won by Sussex man

SUSSEX, Wis. (CBS 58) -- Jignesh Patel of Sussex may not have claimed a Powerball jackpot, but he did win a prize that Packers fans across Wisconsin might want even more. He took the grand prize in in the Wisconsin Lottery’s Green Bay Packers Bonus Drawing, scoring a year of season tickets to watch games at Lambeau Field.

Patel's name was drawn from over 68,000 entries after he secured his spot in the March 8 drawing by submitting $5 worth of non-winning, 2023 Packers scratch tickets. Entries were accepted until Feb. 29.

The prize package is valued at $50,095, featuring four Club Seat tickets to all 2024-25 regular and post-season home games, parking passes, pre-game field access for a game and a $3,000 voucher for food and beverages at Club Level.

Additional perks include hotel accommodations, a behind-the-scenes tour of Lambeau Field, a $3,000 entertainment gift card and various Packers memorabilia, including an autographed helmet.

Alongside Patel, 195 others celebrated winning smaller prizes with 95 of these winners taking home MVP Tailgate Party Prize Packages, while the remaining 100 received $500 Packers Pro Shop gift cards.

In July, the Wisconsin Lottery will launch new Packers scratch tickets, featuring another bonus drawing for 2025-26 season tickets along with other Packers prizes. More details can be found by visiting the Wisconsin Lottery online.
