For the third time in the past two months, someone in Iowa has won a lottery prize of at least $1 million! The latest big win happened last night in Powerball®.
Someone who bought a Powerball ticket at a convenience store in Danbury, a community of 320 in Woodbury County, won a $1 million prize in the game’s drawing last night.
The Danbury ticket was one of only two across the country that won a $1 million prize in the drawing, with the other in Wisconsin. A Kentucky ticket won a $2 million prize last night.
Iowa’s $1 million-winning ticket was purchased at KCK’s Food and Fuel, 503 Iowa Highway 175 in Danbury. The ticket came within one number of having at least a share of last night’s $485 million jackpot.
The Danbury ticket matched the first five numbers but missed the Powerball to win a $1 million prize. Last night’s winning numbers were: 19-30-36-46-60 and Powerball 25. The Power Play® number was 3.
No one matched all six numbers to win the jackpot, so the big prize climbs to an estimated $508 million annuity, $256.3 million lump-sum option, for Wednesday.
KCK’s Food and Fuel will receive a $1,000 bonus from the Iowa Lottery for selling the $1 million-winning ticket.
