CLIVE, Iowa - Just one month remains for a $1 million Powerball® prize won in central Iowa to be claimed, and the Iowa Lottery is reminding players to double-check their tickets.
The $1 million prize was won in the Powerball drawing on April 11, 2018, with a ticket purchased at Casey's, 1800 S. B Ave. in Nevada. It came close to winning that night's $89.7 million jackpot, matching the first five numbers but missing the Powerball. The winning numbers that night were: 16-18-27-55-67 and Powerball 18. The Power Play® number was 3.
The winner or winners have until the close of business at 4 p.m. on April 11, 2019, to claim the $1 million prize at lottery headquarters in Clive.
Casey's received a $1,000 bonus from the lottery for selling the $1 million prize at one of its stores.
Another Powerball ticket that won a big prize remains unclaimed and will expire in six months if the winner does not come forward in time to claim. The ticket, which was purchased at Fareway in Pleasant Hill, won a $50,000 prize in the Sept. 1, 2018 drawing. The deadline to claim this prize is Sept. 2, 2019
If you believe you've won an Iowa Lottery prize and have questions before coming forward to claim it, you are welcome to contact the lottery at 515-725-7900 or wmaster@ialottery.com.
In fiscal year 2018, more than $1.4 million in lottery prizes went unclaimed in Iowa. The money from unclaimed prizes in our state goes into the lottery's prize pools for future games and promotions, so it will be used to pay prizes, just not those prizes that have expired.
Players in Iowa have up to 365 days from the date of the drawing to claim prizes in Powerball, Mega Millions®, Lucky for Life® and Lotto America®. Players have up to 90 days from the date of the drawing to claim prizes in the Iowa Lottery's Pick 3 , Pick 4 and InstaPlay games. If the expiration date falls on a weekend or holiday when the lottery's offices are closed, the winner has until the close of business on the next business day to turn in the ticket.
Winning numbers may be checked at the lottery website 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.
