Someone who bought a Powerball ticket in northeast Iowa won a $2 million Powerball prize in last night’s drawing.
The $2 million-winning ticket was purchased at Casey’s, 615 N. Linn Ave. in New Hampton. The ticket came within one number of having at least a share of last night’s $26.8 million jackpot.
The lucky 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 New Hampton ticket was the only one in the country to win a $2 million prize in last night’s drawing.
Last night’s winning numbers were 14-17-18-21-27 and Powerball 9. The Power Play option was 2. No one matched all six numbers to win the jackpot, so the big prize climbs to an estimated $38 million annuity ($26.4 million lump-sum option) for the game’s next drawing tomorrow night.
Casey’s will receive a $2,000 bonus from the Iowa Lottery for selling the $2 million-winning ticket.
Prizes of $2 million must be claimed at Iowa Lottery headquarters in Clive. The lottery’s offices are open Monday through Friday, and prize claims are currently available by appointment. The winner or winners of the New Hampton prize can call the lottery at 515-725-7900 to make an appointment to claim it.
Hi, Rachelle. We've posted a lot of information to do our best to explain the odds in our games, and I'll provide direct links here so you can check out the details. Overall odds of winning of about 1 in 2.51 do NOT mean that if you buy three tickets, one of them is guaranteed to win a prize. It means that if you were to buy all of the tickets in one of our games, about 1 in 3 of them would win prizes. But winning tickets in our games are randomly distributed so that no one -- not even those of us who work at the lottery -- know when or where the next big winner will hit. I can tell you're upset about not winning. If playing the lottery is causing you stress or making you unhappy, please don't do it. Here are a couple links to provide background about our odds. This is a video that explains the odds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N66WI9yzTRw And this is a link to the Play Smart, Be Informed section on the Iowa Lottery's website: https://www.ialottery.com/Pages/PlaySmartBeInformed_main.aspx
