Most everyone stops at a convenience on a daily basis to pick up things they may need. Whether it is bread or milk, almost everyone stops and when they do sometimes a lottery ticket is purchased along with the items needed. Sometimes the ticket is a big winner and other times it is not but for one lucky woman a trip to the store for gas and bananas led to a $5.6 million win.

Priscilla Hollis of Arlington bought a Megabucks lottery ticket at the Kwik Trip in Windsor with the numbers 4, 6, 10, 25, 41 and 48. The numbers were a winner and Hollis is now the proud winner of the multi-million dollar prize.

The Megabucks lottery game is located in Wisconsin only and drawings take place every Wednesday and Saturday. Since Hollis won the large jackpot the amount has been reset and it sits at $1 million.

A spokesperson for the lottery said that the lucky winner can choose to accept a onetime payment of $3.46 million which would be just over $2 million after taxes or she can take the twenty five annual payments. Hollis has not stated publicly her decision.
