FOND DU LAC – A lottery player in Fond du Lac has gotten lucky this week.
Philly’s on 4th Grocery & Deli, 321 Fourth St., sold a winning $350,000 “SuperCash!” ticket — the top prize — for the Sept. 15 drawing, according to Wisconsin Lottery. The winning numbers were 16-24-27-30-37-39.
“SuperCash!” players buy two plays for $1, then wait for the daily draws after 9 p.m. The odds of matching all six numbers and earning the top prize are one in 1,631,312.
The winner has 180 days to claim their prize.
Philly’s on 4th often continues Fond du Lac’s lucky lotto streak: the city was called Miracle Mile in the 1990s after a number of retailers sold winning tickets amounting to millions of dollars.
Before it was Philly’s on 4th, the business was called Ma & Pa’s in the Miracle Mile, and sold a $6.5 million winning ticket in 1994 and a $208.6 million ticket in 2006.
In just the last five years, the store sold winning scratch tickets of $1 million, $100,000 and $10,000, as well as two winning Badger 5 jackpots and a winning $100,000 All or Nothing ticket, according to Wisconsin Lottery.
