Here’s an interesting twist: A $200,000 Powerball® prize was won this weekend at the same Johnson County store that had a $2 million winner last month.
A $200,000-winning ticket in Saturday’s Powerball drawing was purchased at Casey’s, 403 Stephans St. in Tiffin. The ticket initially matched four of the first five numbers and the Powerball to win a $50,000 prize that night. But whoever bought the ticket also added the Power Play® option to the play, which multiplied the prize to $200,000.
The winning numbers in Saturday’s Powerball drawing were: 1-12-14-24-57 and Powerball 7. The Power Play number was 4.
Last month, a $2 million-winning Powerball ticket was purchased at that store – and it also involved the Power Play. That ticket initially matched the first five numbers but missed the Powerball in the Oct. 7 drawing to win a $1 million prize. But whoever bought that ticket added the Power Play option, which multiplied the prize to $2 million.
Both prizes from the store remain unclaimed as I am posting this. So it will be interesting to see as the winnings are claimed: Is it the same person?
The $2 million prize must be claimed at Iowa Lottery headquarters in Clive, while the $200,000 prize can be claimed at any lottery office.
