CLIVE, Iowa — A Waterloo man has won a $100,000 Powerball prize.
Jason Nabholz matched four of five white balls and the Powerball in Monday's drawing. His initial $50,000 prize was doubled because he added the $1 Power Play® option, which multiples non-jackpot prize amounts by up to 10 times.
Nabholz purchased his winning ticket at Kwik Star, 111 E. Donald St. in Waterloo, and claimed his prize Wednesday at the lottery's Cedar Rapids regional office.
The winning numbers in Monday's drawing were 19-24-40-42-56 and Powerball 23. The Power Play was 2. Nabholz's ticket was just one number away from winning that night's $1.03 billion jackpot.
The jackpot has continued to grow and now stands at an estimated $1.3 billion for Saturday's drawing.
Players in $2 Powerball choose their first five numbers from a pool of 69, and another number – called the Powerball – from a separate pool of 26. The Power Play option is available for an extra $1 per play.
Since getting its start in April 1992 in 15 states with jackpots that started at a guaranteed $2 million, Powerball has grown into one of the world's biggest and most recognizable lottery games. Today Powerball is played by 48 lotteries across the country with drawings at 9:59 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays.
