Someone who bought a lottery ticket at a southwest Iowa convenience store has won a prize of $25,000 a year for life in the Lucky for Life game.
An Atlantic ticket matched the first five numbers but missed the Lucky Ball in last night’s drawing to win Lucky for Life’s second prize of $25,000 a year for life. The winning ticket was purchased at Casey’s, 701 Poplar St. in Atlantic.
It is Iowa’s ninth big winner in the game since it debuted in January 2016 in our state.
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 prefer that rather than lifetime annuity payments.
The winning numbers in last night’s Lucky for Life drawing were: 25-28-32-47-48 and Lucky Ball 14. Casey’s will receive a $500 bonus from the lottery for selling the winning ticket at one of its locations.
