Wisconsin resident Vasil Kapbardhi's years of lottery loyalty finally paid off! Kapbardhi scratched his way to an enormous $1 million prize on a Super Millions ticket.

"I couldn't believe it!" Kapbardhi told the Wisconsin Lottery. "My wife and I were in disbelief until we claimed the prize at the lottery offices."

A regular player, Kapbardhi enjoys both scratch games and the thrill of Mega Millions, Powerball, and SuperCash!. His winning ticket came from Mega Holiday #6 on 2920 Craig Rd. in Eau Claire.

How to play Super Millions

Super Millions, a $30 instant scratch game, offers exciting ways to win. Match any of your numbers to a super number to win the corresponding prize. Reveal a "2X" symbol and double your winnings.

The ultimate reward is a cool $1 million.

Double Dose of luck in Eau Claire

March 13th proved to be a lucky day for Eau Claire. Another WI Lottery player claimed a winning $500,000 Maximum Cash Crossword ticket at Mega Holiday #9 on 5511 Hwy 93, just five miles from Kapbardhi's winning location.
