DELAVAN, Wis. (CBS 58) -- Long time daily Lottery player, Dennis Westgor of Delavan is the lucky winner of the $67,000 jackpot from the Monday, October 30 Badger 5 drawing.

Westgor's wife mentioned to him that there was a winner from Delavan. He asked "what are the numbers" and when she started reading them he interrupted saying "that's our ticket"! Westgor usually picks his own numbers and plans to put his winnings toward his nest egg and possibly use it for a special occasion.

Westgor purchased his ticket at Del-Mart Phillips 66 at 338 East Walworth Avenue in Delavan.

Westgor's ticket matched the winning numbers of 17, 21, 23, 27 and 30.

Badger 5 is a daily lotto game available only in Wisconsin. Winners at all prize levels have 180 days from the drawing to claim their prizes by mail or in person at the Lottery’s Madison or Milwaukee office.
