Are you missing out on money you could get from the government?

Many taxpayers in Wisconsin might not know that they’re eligible for a ‘lottery credit’ on their homes.

La Crosse County treasurer Amy Twitchell said it’s possible that a credit for your property might not be listed on your tax forms.

The state of Wisconsin has $236 million in tax breaks waiting for its citizens, if their main residence is in the state, with the average credit estimated at $160.

The lottery property tax credit is financed by the sales of Wisconsin lottery tickets.
