It’s been a fun week, with lots of folks learning about “All or Nothing” as our newest lotto game got underway. And a southwest Iowa woman has had good early luck in All or Nothing, winning a $1,000 prize in last night’s drawing.
Helen Forrester of Carson said she’s excited it took just one number for her to win. She said that the number four has been lucky for her and that’s the winning number she matched in yesterday’s evening drawing. She claimed her prize today at our regional office in Council Bluffs.
Helen, who’s 67 and retired, said she’ll put her winnings toward a future trip to Branson, Mo. Congrats, Helen!
Check out the video below to see the fun we had during last Friday’s announcement of All or Nothing.

The cash 100,000 game was a good game , 35 number game , this new game is not a good replacement. wish there was still a game like the cash game better odds at at 100,000 by far !

I can't understand why they keep wanting to mess up a good thing. They changed the play it again games from where everyone could pick a prize and at least get something back from losing tickets to just some people winning. Now they have increased the odds of losing on this all or nothing game.
Murphy's Law.. If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it...

well the iowa lottery just lost a player, was playing the 100,000 , but since they switch to a game hardly nobody will win nothing well, forget it, i'll just save my money. like to know who thought of this game, where there is no chance to win, and since there is no chance to win who is going to play it? my mother-in-law and wife always played the game [100,000] and looking what they turned to they quit playing too, so good luck iowa lottery got a losing game on your hands .
