Unlike most state lotteries, which use the money from ticket sales to improve public services, Wisconsin uses a portion of its revenue to provide tax relief to homeowners across the state, through the Lottery and Gaming Credit program. Of the remaining revenue, over half is used to pay out prizes, and a small proportion goes towards covering operating costs and commissions.
| Aread of Spending | Percentage of Revenue |
|---|---|
| Prizes | 56.7% |
| Property Tax Credits | 6.3% |
| Operational Expenses | 6.9% |
| Retailer Commission | 30.1% |
Lottery and Gaming credits are available to all residents of Wisconsin who own a home as of January 1st of the year the property tax is due to be taken. As long as they use it as their primary dwelling, they can apply for tax relief through a Lottery and Gaming Credit. Applications are filed with the county treasurer and credits are shown on a resident's tax bill.
The program is jointly administered between the state's Department of Revenue and Department of Administration, and it has been in place since 1987, when voters approved the formation of a state lottery. Legislation dictated that net profits from the lottery must be used for property tax relief. Since then, the Wisconsin Lottery has paid over $4 billion into the program.
The biggest Powerball win in Wisconsin, and one of the largest anywhere in the U.S., arrived in March 2019, when Manuel Franco claimed a $768 million jackpot. Franco, 24, at the time, bought his ticket from a Speedway on Beloit Road in New Berlin, Milwaukee, and said he felt so lucky that day that he looked up at the store camera and wanted to wink. He ‘pretty much never showed up for work again' and planned to take some time out before using the money to ‘help out the world'. He did not mind having to go public and said he was ‘ready to say no to random people' begging him for money.
The previous record had come back in August 2006, when a group of co-workers at a cheese company landed a $208 million jackpot. After making an announcement over the company's public address system, the pool's leader, Mary Entringer, drafted 99 other colleagues to buy Powerball tickets with, and their co-operation soon paid off. The pool called itself the ‘100 Miracles' and each member rubbed the belly of a Buddha statue for good luck before the winning draw took place. 'We don't know if it's the Buddha that brought us the good fortune to win this', Entringer said. 'We're just grateful it was 100 people, and we're all going to share in this bounty.'
Frank and Shirley Capaci from Streamwood, Illinois, won a $195 million jackpot in May 1998 after someone drove to Wisconsin to buy their tickets. Illinois didn't participate in Powerball back then, so when the Capacis were out for drinks at a bar called ‘Bill's on Bartlett' in Streamwood, Frank handed $5 to a bartender to get hold of some Powerball tickets from a neighboring state. That bartender drove over the border to Wisconsin to buy tickets for 15 customers, but it was the Capacis' ticket that landed the big money. The couple chose to take a lump sum payout of $104 million before taxes.
