WAUSAU, Wis. (AP) — A Wausau man has won $1.1 million playing fantasy football.
Will Hsu, a 45-year-old ginseng farmer, won the money in a game hosted by website Draft Kings.
The Green Bay Packers’ 31-30 win over the Baltimore Ravens on Dec. 19 helped him beat out 180,000 competitors.
Hsu says the win was a once-in-a-lifetime thrill and he plans to donate about a quarter of the money to charity, including the University of Wisconsin, the Wausau church his family attends and the Community Foundation of North Central Wisconsin.
He also plans to take his family to a warm vacation spot and pay off his wife’s car.
