NEENAH (NBC 26) -- A Neenah man plans to retire early after claiming a winning lotto ticket worth $1.9 million.

The lottery says Leonard McIlhone of Neenah recently claimed the winning ticket, worth $1.9 million annuity, $1.6 million cash. McIlhone is a long-time Megabucks player who plans to put in his two weeks and retire early from his job, the lottery says.

The Winconsin Lottery says the winning ticket was sold by Mobil West in Neenah. The winning came from the lottery's September 5 drawing. Wisconsin Lottery says Mobil will receive $38,000 for selling the ticket.

The last Megabucks jackpot of $10.7 Million annuity was won on April 25, 2020 and claimed by a Merrillian man.

The odds of winning the Megabucks jackpot are 1 in 6,991,908.
