CLIVE, Iowa — A Webster County woman said she's excited about a life without car and camper payments after she won a $100,000 lottery prize.
Jodi Arends, 59, of Duncombe won a top prize in the Iowa Lottery's "Golden Riches" scratch game. She bought her winning ticket at Marker 126, 2339 Poplar Ave. in Duncombe. The morning after the drawing, she scratched the ticket while greeting ready for work.
"I couldn't believe it," Arends said on Feb. 2 as she claimed her prize at the lottery's main office in Clive. "I was like, 'Oh, my gosh! This is for real! This is for real!' is what I kept saying to my husband."
Besides paying off her vehicles, Arends, the office manager at a local bank, said she plans to save the rest of her winnings.
Golden Riches is a $10 scratch game that features eight top prizes of $100,000 and overall odds of 1 in 3.15. For more information about this game and the number of prizes still available, visit www.ialottery.com.
