Joseph Bednarek from Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, had no idea his regular grocery run would change his life. His wife Ellen asked him to buy hot dogs from the Pick ‘N Save store on Pioneer Road. He thought it would be a quick trip, but something caught his eye.
According to CBS 58, Bednarek saw a sign at the service desk that stopped him in his tracks. The Badger 5 lottery jackpot had grown to $96,000. He happened to have a $10 bill in his pocket, which was more than he usually spent on tickets. “And I looked, I backed up and saw $96,000. All I had left was a $10 bill. Normally I buy five and I went there and, ‘oh well, give me $10 worth,'” Bednarek said.
