In a stroke of kismet \u2013 or, some light say, luck \u2013 the winning ticket for a $15.1 state lottery was sold in the appropriately named town of Luck, Wisconsin.<\/p>\n

The winning Megabucks lottery<\/a> ticket for the Jan. 4 drawing was sold at Wayne’s Food Plus, and is the largest winning lottery ticket ever sold by the store, as People.com reported.<\/p>\n

Luck is a tiny town of approximately 1,100 residents.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Thursday morning, when I come in and run my morning reports and \u2018get your lottery\u2019 report \u2014 it shows, ‘Congrats to Wayne’s foods in Luck, Wi, for selling a 15-million-dollar megabucks ticket,'” store manager Paul Wondra told CBS Minnesota.<\/p>\n

Megabucks is a Wisconsin-only lottery game<\/a>, according to the Wisconsin Lottery’s website.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A man named Mark Cunningham claimed the $15.1 million prize on Monday, Jan. 9, according to a Jan. 11 press release from the Wisconsin Lottery.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Dreams really do come true,” said Cunningham in the release.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He was described as a “regular player” of the state’s lottery.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cunningham actually purchased two winning tickets for the Jan. 4 drawing notes the release.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In addition to the $15.1 million jackpot, he also won $2 on another ticket.\u00a0<\/p>\n

More than 14,162 people won at least $2 in the January 4 Megabucks drawing, said the press release.<\/p>\n

The jackpot of $15.1 million is the largest Megabucks jackpot since a $22.2 million jackpot in 2015, said the Wisconsin Lottery.<\/p>\n

For selling the winning ticket, Wayne’s Foods Plus received $100,000 as part of the Wisconsin Lottery’s “Retailer Performance Program Winning Ticket Incentive,” the Wisconsin Lottery also noted.<\/p>\n

The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 6,991,908, said the Wisconsin Lottery.<\/p>\n

The odds of winning $2, however, are only 1 in 29.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Wisconsin Lottery has paid out over $9.7 billion in prizes since 1988, said the website.<\/p>\n

This is not the only recent fortunate coincidence related to the lottery.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In November, a woman in North Carolina<\/a> won a lottery the same day she gave birth to a baby girl, Fox News Digital previously reported.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Brenda Gomez Hernandez, 28, of Concord, North Carolina, won $100,000 from a Powerball ticket she played through the North Carolina Education Lottery, according to a press release issued on Thursday, Dec. 1.<\/p>\n

Hernandez gave birth<\/u><\/a> on Nov. 9 \u2014 and later in the evening she won $50,000 from the Powerball drawing.<\/p>\n

Her prize doubled to $100,000 when a “2X Power Play multiplier hit” after she “matched numbers on four white balls and the Powerball,” according to the North Carolina Education Lottery.<\/p>\n

“When I found out I cried,” Hernandez told the North Carolina Education Lottery. “I\u2019m just so excited and happy.”<\/p>\n

Her winning lottery ticket was a $3 Quick Pick ticket, which was purchased from the QuikTrip location on Warren C. Coleman Boulevard in Concord.<\/p>\n
