Iowa Powerball Results: 2 Prizes Of $100K Among State’s Winners

A California ticket has won that world-record $2.04 billion Powerball® jackpot, but 4 Iowa tickets were just one number away from having a share of the big prize.

The jackpot ended up at $2.04 billion annuity, $997.6 million cash option in last night’s Powerball drawing. Strong sales across the country lifted the final jackpot amount even higher than the latest estimates before the drawing.

The winning numbers in last night’s drawing were: 10-33-41-47-56 and Powerball 10. The Power Play® number was 2.

Total Prizes Won In Iowa

Iowa Lottery players won a total of 97,022 prizes in last night’s drawing ranging from $4 up to $100,000.

Four Iowa tickets matched four of the first five numbers and the Powerball to each win a $50,000 prize. But the players who bought two of the tickets added the Power Play option to their purchases, which multiplied their winnings to $100,000 each.

The $50,000-winning tickets were purchased at: Yesway, 1905 SE 37th St. in Grimes; and Casey’s, 2245 Karr Ave. in Early.

The $100,000-winning tickets were purchased at: Walmart, 415 Industrial Ave. in Grinnell; and Casey’s, 5505 Asbury Road in Dubuque.

Those four prizes can be claimed at any Iowa Lottery office. If the winners have questions before claiming their prize, they are welcome to call the Iowa Lottery at 515-725-7900 or email to: [email protected].

Last Night’s Drawing Was Delayed

One of the lotteries that sells tickets in the Powerball game needed extra time to complete the required security protocols for last night’s drawing. The delay ultimately pushed the drawing back by several hours.

At the Iowa Lottery, we’re proud that our team cleared all the security protocols for the drawing. We expected that the drawing to take place on schedule, but understand that the rigorous security procedures in Powerball and all our games exist to protect the integrity and fairness of the lottery.

It's vital the game that the security steps are followed by every lottery, even if that means a delay.

The Powerball drawing is occasionally delayed as lotteries complete their security procedures. Last night’s drawing just drew huge attention because of the jackpot that was on the line.

Iowa Sales For Last Night’s Drawing

Iowa Lottery players bought more than $5.5 million in Powerball tickets for last night’s drawing, including more than $4.4 million in tickets that day alone.

But the average Powerball purchase in Iowa for the drawing remained about $7, or about four plays per ticket. It’s nice to see that Iowans had fun playing and didn’t go overboard.

Hi, Tonya. The Iowa Lottery began sharing out information about the drawing delay shortly after it happened Monday night. There are certain pieces of information, however, that can't be updated until the drawing itself is complete. Once that happened, we updated our system immediately and all details showed the information for Wednesday's drawing. The ticket you bought is a valid play, and it is for tonight's jackpot drawing.

I'm not sure there is a reply that could satisfy you, Rebecca. You can see the drawing live and the machines selecting the balls with the winning numbers. I'll leave it at that and just wish you well.

WHY can't viewers WATCH the actual balls coming down the chute? It is very easy to pull the balls and roll the balls of choice into a closer view. With the election yesterday and the hold up on the drawing, many Americans feel this was fixed. Seems like the person who won will need to be investigated to see their affiliation to politicians, elites, and lottery officials. This was fixed. Probably has been before, but a stupid attempt at the time of the largest jackpot to date.
