MADISON, Wisc. — Last week, the Wisconsin Lottery announced that three SuperCash! winning tickets had been sold in Dane County.

Amazingly, all three winning lottery tickets were purchased by the same person from three different stores.

But the real jaw-dropping part?  He's done this before.

Verlyn Adamson of Mount Horeb, Wisconsin, is the lucky winner of all three top prizes from the Monday, January 26 SuperCash! daily lotto game.  His winning tickets matched all six numbers of 3, 10, 15, 23, 26, and 34.

Adamson purchased his lucky tickets at three different locations:

  • Kwik Trip — 7583 West Mineral Point Road in Verona
  • Kwik Trip — 525 Springdale Street in Mount Horeb
  • Cenex Convenience Store — 1225 Hwy 18/151 in Mount Horeb

After taxes, Adamson received a payment of $707,175.39.

This is the second time that Adamson has won multiple top prizes of $350,000 playing SuperCash! The last time this happened was in August 2008 when he won on four different tickets, pocketing $995,000 after taxes.

(See Wisconsin couple win in lottery -- again!, Lottery Post, Aug. 22, 2008.)

Adamson's attorney said in a statement that a mathematical equation was used to pick the numbers, and they are exploring patent protection for the trade secret.

Each store Adamson purchased a winning ticket from receives a $7,000 retailer incentive (or 2% of the total prize won on the ticket purchased).

SuperCash! is a daily lotto game played only in Wisconsin.  Players try to match the six randomly drawn winning numbers drawn each night from a field of 39 numbers for a chance to win prizes of $1, $30, $500, and the top prize of $350,000.  Players can also select the doubler feature at no additional cost.  When the doubler is drawn, every prize doubles (excluding the top prize).

Thanks to JustJim for the tip.

Sometimes I play All or Nothing like this to win $500,000 instead of $250,000. It's expensive at $2 a ticket.

Supercash is 2 plays for a buck. That's a bargain for $350,000 that's not parimutuel.

Two plays for a buck, that's unheard of these days.  And not the dreaded para-mutuel as well?   The cat is out of the bag on this one and Wisconsin will probably re-evaluate and 'change the matrix'; in other words, figure out a way to rip-off the lottery player.

This just reaffirms for me that these games cannot be completely random. You've got a mathematician in Tx

that breaks the games and wins several jackpots in just 5 years. Another man in Canada that breaks the

jackpot several times in 5 years again (all drawing games).

 

Especially with computerized games, it simply cannot be 100% random. So now it's just a matter of cracking

it like this guy did. I'm happy for the guy personally, just wish I could do the same. lol

SuperCash! is rigged for southern Wisconsin. Southern Wisconsin always wins!

The Wisconsin lottery uses computerized lottery terminals, if no winning ticket is sold in southern Wisconsin, they let the jackpot roll again. Banana

A lot of good that's going to do, once it's patented do he really think he will be the only one allowed to play the game that way?  Or that the state won't change or eliminate the game? 

If this is another situation like Massachusetts had with its Windfall game then he would be better off doing like the Michigan couple who took advantage of the situation before it ended.

I don't like the sound of that news.  I will have to work on winning on super cash before it gets screwed up, or even worse eliminated.

Now that someone who has actually won several jackpots says there is a formula for picking winning combinations the theory has some creditability and there will be others like you trying to do the same thing.

Actually I followed that game for a while,  keeping track of what was and wasn't being played.  But I haven't been keeping up with it.  Keep in mind, this is a computerized draw,  the big MM and PB are not.

How do you keep track of what's being played?  The website only post what's being drawn.

Also there is a big difference in odds of a 6/39 game and 5/75+1/15 and 5/59+1/35 games.

I keep track of what numbers are out.
