The Iowa Lottery just passed a significant milestone in winnings.
We’ll never know exactly who it was, but someone recently claimed a winning ticket that lifted the total amount the Iowa Lottery has paid in prizes to more than $6 billion!
That’s not a typo. Since the Iowa Lottery’s start in 1985, players have won more than $6 billion in prizes. And the last two years have seen the largest prize totals so far!
In fiscal year 2024, players won $106.6 million from the Iowa Lottery. And that number was eclipsed only by FY 2023’s prize total of $108.4 million!
The Iowa Lottery is celebrating its 40th birthday this year, so it seems appropriate that we’d hit another major milestone at the same time.
Congratulations to all our winners of prizes both large and small. We appreciate you being part of our world!
