For the 4th time in 5 days, a lottery player in Iowa has won a major prize.
The latest big win hit last night in the Lucky for Life® game. Someone who bought a ticket in Centerville won a prize of $25,000 a year for life.
That follows a $1 million Mega Millions® prize won Friday in Davenport, and then on Saturday, an InstaPlay jackpot of nearly $400,000 in Cascade and a Powerball® prize of $2 million in Ottumwa.
An Ottumwa woman claimed the $2 million Powerball prize on Monday, while the other major prizes remain unclaimed.
The winning Lucky for Life ticket, purchased at Bratz Oil Corp., 102 Drake Ave. in Centerville, matched the first five numbers but missed the Lucky Ball in last night’s drawing to win at the game's second prize level of $25,000 a year for life. The winning numbers in last night’s drawing were 1-15-20-31-44 and Lucky Ball 18.
It’s the 19th big Iowa win in Lucky for Life since the game debuted in our state in January 2016.
Bratz Oil will receive a $500 bonus from the lottery for selling the ticket winning $25,000 a year for life.
Here are the details about the other two recent major Iowa Lottery prizes that remain unclaimed.
InstaPlay: The Super 7s Progressive InstaPlay jackpot of $390,191 was won Saturday with a ticket purchased at Casey’s, 717 First Ave. E. in Cascade.
Super 7s Progressive InstaPlay is a $30 game. Its jackpot starts at $50,000 and increases with each ticket sold statewide until it is won.
The InstaPlay product combines features from instant-scratch and lotto games. InstaPlay tickets are called scratchless because they have no security coating that needs to be removed to determine the prize won.
Mega Millions: The Mega Millions prize of $1 million was won Friday with a ticket purchased at Smokin’ Joe’s, 3120 Rockingham Road in Davenport. The ticket came within one number of Friday’s $320 million jackpot, matching the first five numbers but missing the Mega Ball.
The Davenport ticket was the only one in the country to win a $1 million prize in that night’s drawing.
Friday’s winning numbers were: 13-62-65-67-69 and Mega Ball 14. The Megaplier® was 5.
Smokin’ Joe’s will receive a $1,000 bonus from the Iowa Lottery for selling the $1 million-winning ticket in Davenport.
Prizes won in Iowa of more than $250,000 must be claimed at Iowa Lottery headquarters in Clive. Lottery offices are open Monday through Friday, and appointments are strongly encouraged for those claims.

Hi, Carol. A man from Denison just won a $100,000 prize on June 26! He bought his winning ticket at S&S Convenience Store in Denison. And a woman from Denison claimed a $10,000 prize on April 3 as well. She bought that ticket at One Stop Shop in Denison. So, there are winners from all over in Iowa, including Denison.
