Another $2 Million Winning Powerball Ticket Sold In Eastern Iowa
People in Clinton, Iowa are hoping that their significant other or they are the ones holding the $2 million winning Powerball ticket. Someone not only had their belly stuffed over the Thanksgiving weekend but also their wallet.
Congrats to the second $2 million Powerball winner in eastern Iowa in the past 2 months. Let's hope the winner of this ticket comes forward so we can congratulate them.
$2 Million Ticket Sold In Iowa
On Sunday, officials from the Iowa Lottery announced that someone who bought a Powerball ticket in Clinton, Iowa won a $2 million prize in Saturday night's drawing. It’s the 8th lottery prize of at least $1 million won this year in Iowa and the second $2 million winning ticket since early October.
The $2 million-winning ticket was purchased at Clinton Liquor, 1641 S. Bluff Blvd. in Clinton. The ticket came within one number of winning last night’s $337.9 million Powerball jackpot.
The ticket initially matched the first five numbers but missed the Powerball to win a $1 million prize. But whoever bought the ticket also added the Power Play option to the purchase, which multiplies the prize at the Match 5 level to $2 million.
The Clinton ticket was the only one in the country to win a $2 million prize in the drawing.
Saturday night’s winning numbers were: 27-33-63-66-68 and Powerball 9. The Power Play number was 2. No one matched all six numbers to win the jackpot, so the big prize climbs to an estimated $352 million annuity ($163.3 million lump-sum option) for Monday.
Clinton Liquor will receive a $2,000 bonus from the Iowa Lottery for selling the $2 million winning ticket.
The First $2 Million Powerball Ticket Still Unclaimed
Another $2 million Powerball prize won this fall in Iowa also remains unclaimed. That prize was won in the Oct. 7 drawing with a ticket purchased at Casey’s, 403 Stephans St. in Tiffin.
Powerball prizes currently won in Iowa must be claimed within 180 days of the drawing. Please double-check your tickets to see if you’ve won a prize.
Prizes of $2 million must be claimed at Iowa Lottery headquarters in Clive. The lottery’s offices are open Monday through Friday, and appointments are strongly encouraged for those claims.
