We’re about a month into InstaPlay sales here in Iowa and the product saw its biggest progressive jackpot so far over the weekend. Someone in Davenport who bought a ticket in the “Cherry Twist Progressive” game on Saturday won a jackpot of more than $17,000!
The winning ticket for a progressive jackpot of $17,710.55 was purchased at the Hawkeye Convenience Store, 6807 Northwest Boulevard in Davenport. We’re still waiting to meet the owner of that lucky ticket!
InstaPlay sales began Nov. 13 here in Iowa and since then, there have been four progressive InstaPlay jackpot winners, or about one a week. If you’re not familiar with InstaPlay games, the product borrows features from some of our most popular games and is known as a “scratchless scratch ticket.” Click here to learn all about Iowa’s InstaPlay games!
Hi, William. Thank you for reaching out to us. The overall odds of winning in a particular lottery game apply to all of the tickets in that game, not a string of tickets as you have referenced. We produced a video that I think can provide the details about the odds for you. We use a deck of cards to illustrate, as I think that helps people "see" what the odds mean. Here is a link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N66WI9yzTRw
