Someone who bought a lottery ticket at a gas station in northeast Iowa has won a prize of $25,000 a year for life in the Lucky for Life game.
The Cascade ticket matched the first five numbers but missed the Lucky Ball in last night’s drawing to win the game’s second prize of $25,000 a year for life. The lucky ticket was purchased at the McDermott Oil Co., 1501 First Ave. E. in Cascade.
Lucky for Life is a $2 game with drawings twice a week, at 9:38 p.m. on Mondays and Thursdays. The game’s top two prize levels are described as “lasting as long as you do,” meaning that they are truly for life. The minimum guaranteed payout for those two prize levels is 20 years, and there is a lump-sum option for players who would prefer that rather than lifetime annuity payments.
The winning numbers in last night’s Lucky for Life drawing were: 1-8-15-29-31 and Lucky Ball 2. McDermott Oil will receive a $500 bonus from the lottery for selling the winning ticket.
Players in Lucky for Life choose five numbers from a pool of 48 for the white balls and 1 out of 18 numbers for the Lucky Ball. Players can win the game’s top prize of $1,000 a day for life by matching all six numbers selected in one of its drawings. The game’s second prize – for matching the first five numbers but missing the Lucky Ball – is $25,000 a year for life. Other prize levels in the game range from $4 up to $5,000.
The top two prize levels in Lucky for Life must be claimed at Iowa Lottery headquarters in Clive. If the winner or winners of the Cascade ticket have questions before coming forward to claim the prize, they’re welcome to contact us here at the lottery at 515-725-7900 or [email protected].
Players in Lucky for Life have up to 365 days from the date of the drawing to claim prizes won in Iowa.
