The Mega Holiday gas station on Commercial Blvd. in Chippewa Falls was the location where an Eau Claire won $1,000,000 Friday.
As the Mega Millions jackpot climbed to record-setting levels in January, a lucky player won $1,000,000 in the Friday, January 15 drawing. The winning ticket was purchased at Mega Holiday #11 located at 1433 Commercial Blvd. in Chippewa Falls.
Anthony Romanowski of Eau Claire claimed the winning million-dollar ticket at Lottery headquarters on February 2. He looks forward to using his winnings to pay off his home and car plus being able to use the prize to fund his hobbies of hunting and fishing.
“It only took one ticket to win,” Romanowski said.
The same drawing produced two $10,000 winners, four $2,000 winners, and 17 $800 winners in Wisconsin.
