MADISON, WI (WSAU) -- A retired Veteran in Madison is the latest million-dollar Powerball winner in Wisconsin.

The state Lottery says Raymond Heft purchased the ticket at a Pick N Save in Madison, matching all five white balls but not the Powerball.

Heft was the second $1,000,000 lottery winner in less than a week after another Dane County resident won a million dollar prize playing Mega Millions. The winner of that prize has yet to be identified. 

The jackpot for Saturday's Powerball drawing is over $750 million dollars. Earlier this week a Mega Millions jackpot worth nearly $1.6 billion was won in South Carolina.
