There is an old saying, ‘when you’re hot, you’re hot’ and when it comes to selling winning Lottery tickets, the city of Fond du Lac is scorching. For the Saturday, April 23, 2022, Evening drawing, Philly’s on 4th Grocery & Deli, 321 Fourth Street, sold a winning $100,000 All or Nothing lotto ticket. It is the sixth, top prize-winning $100,000 All or Nothing ticket sold in 2022.
The numbers drawn from the Saturday All or Nothing Evening draw were 1-2-5-6-11-12-13-17-19-21-22. The winning ticket matched 0 out of 11 numbers.
Winning Lottery tickets are a big part of Fond du Lac and Philly’s owner, Pat Moses’s, history. In November 2021, Philly’s sold a winning $1 million Ultimate Millions scratch ticket and in recent years the store sold two Badger 5 jackpots and a top prize-winning $10,000 CASH scratch ticket.
“We’ve just had winner after winner,” said Moses.
Big wins seem to follow Moses and her business ventures. Philly’s on 4th Grocery & Deli was formerly called Ma and Pa’s, located on South Main Street, on the stretch between 7th and 21st streets, commonly referred to as “Miracle Mile.” Ma & Pa’s sold winning Lottery tickets of $6.5 million (1994) and $208.6 million (2006).
“We’re kind of a lucky store,” added Moses.
Fond du Lac’s Miracle Mile earned its nickname when four multi-million-dollar winning Lottery tickets were sold at various, area locations during the 1990s. Since that time, other Fond du Lac retailers, such as Hansen’s BP, 414 W. Johnson Street, have added to the city’s winning reputation. Hansen’s sold a $1 million Powerball winning ticket in 2020 and throughout its history has sold 19 Badger 5 jackpots and one SuperCash! top prize.
The odds of winning the All or Nothing top prize are 1 in 352,716. Each play costs $2 per draw. Drawings are held every day after 1:30 p.m. for Midday draws and after 9 p.m. for Evening draws.
