Powerball ticket purchased in eastern Iowa won $2 Million in Saturday’s drawing.
The lucky ticket was purchased at Casey's, 403 Stephans St. in Tiffin and came within one number of winning last night's $1.4 billion jackpot. It matched all five white balls 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.
It was one of two tickets nationwide to win a $2 million prize, along with a ticket purchased in Maine.
Saturday’s winning numbers were: 47-54-57-60-65 and Powerball 19. The Power Play number was 3. No one matched all six numbers to win the jackpot, so the big prize climbs to an estimated $1.55 billion annuity, $679.8 million lump-sum option for Monday’s drawing.
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. The winner or winners of the Tiffin prize can call the lottery at 515-725-7900 to make an appointment to claim it.
Powerball prizes won in Iowa must be claimed within 180 days of the drawing in which they were won.
