DES MOINES MAN WINS $10,000 LOTTERY PRIZE

Freddrick Reed Claims $10,000 Prize from September 16 Powerball® Drawing

DES MOINES, Iowa – A Des Moines man won a prize of $10,000 in the September 16 Powerball drawing.

Freddrick Reed claimed his prize Friday at the Iowa Lottery's headquarters in Des Moines. He bought his winning Powerball ticket at Hy-Vee, 3221 S.E. 14th St. in Des Moines.

The winning numbers on September 16 were 17-37-40-51-56 and Powerball 25. The Power Play multiplier was 2. Reed matched four of the first five numbers drawn and the Powerball to win a $10,000 prize. Had he added the Power Play® to his ticket, Reed would have multiplied his $10,000 win by two and won a total of $20,000.

Players can increase their prizes with the Power Play (except the jackpot) up to five times. The cost is $1 per play. The Power Play number, 2 through 5, is chosen at the beginning of the drawing indicating the amount prizes (except the jackpot) will be multiplied if that number is drawn.

For players who choose the Power Play and match five white balls (regularly a $200,000 prize), the multiplier will always be 5, so those players would win an instant $1 million.
