Will a $2 lottery ticket make you a multimillionaire? Nov. 12, 2025, Powerball was at $512 million as Mega Millions creeps toward a $1 billion prize.

A $50,000 winning Powerball ticket was sold in Rio this past weekend, the Wisconsin Lottery announced Tuesday.

​If you have old lottery tickets lying around at home, in your bag, or inside your car, now is a good time to check them. Powerball officials report that many winning tickets from past draws have yet to be claimed. Some of these prizes are substantial, and players may not even realize they have won.
