Wisconsinites Spent over $21 million on Powerball Tickets Last Week

Last week's Powerball sales in Wisconsin were $21,709,943. 

When compared to the previous few months where sales were between $950k-$3.5 million each week, that's about 7-20 times more in sales.

It also closes in on the prior weekly Powerball sales record of $22.3 million for the week of August 25, 2001, when the Powerball jackpot was $295 million.

Wisconsin must contribute 31.29% of its sales to the national jackpot.  The rest of the money stays in Wisconsin.
