A Powerball ticket purchased in north Iowa won $2 Million in Monday’s drawing.
The Iowa Lottery says the lucky ticket was purchased at Casey’s on Highway 69 South in Forest City and came within one number of winning Monday night’s $403.9 million jackpot. The ticket 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, which multiplies the prize at the Match 5 level to $2 million.
The Forest City ticket was the only one in the country to win a $2 million prize in Monday’s drawing.
No one matched all six numbers to win Monday’s jackpot, so the big prize climbs to an estimated $420 million annuity ($215.2 million lump-sum option) for Wednesday.
Casey’s will receive a $2,000 bonus from the Iowa Lottery for selling the $2 million-winning ticket.
In January, New Hampton’s Karla and Keith Elenz won a $2 million Powerball prize. In August, West Union’s Tad Albers scored $1 million in the Mega Millions Iowa Lottery drawing..
