Wisconsin has double lottery jackpots for the first time everNews Story
Two big lottery jackpots were won in Wisconsin Saturday, the first time that winning tickets for the top prizes in Powerball and Megabucks were sold in the state on the same day, lottery officials said.

Can Lotto be cheated?Reply
