A Clinton man has claimed a $2 million Powerball® prize he won in November.
Mark Krogman, 72, who is retired, claimed his prize today. He says he felt shock and joy when he realized he’d won big.
Krogman’s ticket was purchased at Clinton Liquor, 1641 S. Bluff Blvd. in Clinton, and came within one number of winning the $337.9 million jackpot in the Powerball drawing on Nov. 25.
His ticket initially matched the first five numbers but missed the Powerball to win a $1 million prize. But Krogman added the Power Play® option to his purchase, which multiplies the prize at the Match 5 level to $2 million.
Krogman’s ticket was the only one in the country to win a $2 million prize in that night’s drawing.
The winning numbers in the Nov. 25 drawing were: 27-33-63-66-68 and Powerball 9. The Power Play number was 2.
Clinton Liquor received a $2,000 bonus from the Iowa Lottery for selling the $2 million-winning ticket.
Krogman has specific plans for his winnings: He wants to pay off his house and possibly add onto it, help his family with needed finances, and just enjoy life.
