Dawn Hindman Wins Top Prize Playing the "Roll 'Em" Scratch Game

DES MOINES, Iowa – A Pierre, SD woman was traveling through Sioux City when she picked up a "Roll 'Em" scratch ticket and won the top prize of $10,000.

Dawn Hindman claimed her prize Wednesday at the Iowa Lottery's regional office in Storm Lake. She purchased her winning ticket at Maggie's Mini Mart, 1203 Tri View Ave. in Sioux City.

The Iowa Lottery is currently searching for a $10,000-winning Hot Lotto ticket sold at the very same retailer where Hindman purchased her winning ticket. The ticket will expire March 21.

The Roll 'Em scratch game is a $2 game. If any one roll totals seven, players win the prize shown for that roll. If any one roll totals 11, they win double the prize shown for that roll. The overall odds of winning in the game are 1 in 3.86.

Ten top prizes of $10,000 are still up for grabs in the Roll 'Em game, as well as 544 prizes of $100.

Since the Iowa Lottery's inception in 1985, its players have won more than $2.4 billion in prizes while the lottery has raised more than $1.2 billion for state programs.
