Carol Wegmann Claims $10,000 Prize from November 4 Powerball® Drawing

DES MOINES, Iowa – A De Witt woman won a $10,000 prize in the November 4 Powerball drawing.

Carol Wegmann claimed her prize Monday at the Iowa Lottery's regional office in Cedar Rapids. She bought her winning Powerball ticket at Big 10 Mart, 121 S. 14th Ave. in Eldridge.

The winning numbers on November 4 were 10-11-14-45-51 and Powerball 17. The Power Play multiplier was 3. Wegmann matched four of the first five numbers drawn and the Powerball to win a $10,000 prize. Had she added the Power Play® to her ticket, Wegmann would have multiplied her $10,000 win by three to win a total of $30,000.

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.

Winning numbers may be checked at the lottery Web site at www.ialottery.com or through the winning numbers' hot line at (515) 323-4633. Winning numbers may also be checked with lottery retail outlets or by calling the lottery at (515) 725-7900 from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday-Friday.

Players may visit the Iowa Lottery at 2323 Grand Ave. in Des Moines or go to one of the lottery's regional offices in Council Bluffs, Storm Lake, Mason City or Cedar Rapids to claim prizes.

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