CLIVE, Iowa - Someone who bought a Powerball® ticket in Clinton won a $500,000 prize in Wednesday's drawing, the second prize of that size to hit in Iowa this month.
The latest $500,000-winning ticket was purchased at the Kwik Star, 911 S. 14th St. in Clinton. The ticket came within one number of having at least a share of Wednesday's $87.3 million jackpot.
The ticket matched four of the first five numbers and the Powerball to initially win a $50,000 prize. But whoever bought the winning ticket also added the Power Play® option to the purchase, which multiplied the prize to $500,000.
A Waterloo man won a $500,000 prize by purchasing the same type of play in the Powerball drawing on July 8. Tu Kha Maung, 29, claimed his prize July 10.
Wednesday's winning numbers were: 27-47-61-62-69 and Powerball 4. The Power Play number was 10. No one matched all six numbers to win the jackpot, so the big prize climbs to an estimated $97 million annuity ($78.3 million cash option) for Saturday.
The Clinton ticket was one of three in the country to win a $500,000 prize in Wednesday night's drawing, while a ticket in California won a $1 million prize.
Kwik Star will receive a $500 bonus from the Iowa Lottery for selling the $500,000-winning ticket.
Prizes of $500,000 must be claimed at Iowa Lottery headquarters in Clive. The lottery's offices are open Monday through Friday, and currently offer curbside prize claims by appointment. To make an appointment to claim the prize, the winner or winners should call the lottery at 515-725-7900.
Powerball players in Iowa have 365 days from the date of the drawing to claim their prizes.
Players in $2 Powerball choose their first five numbers from a pool of 69, and another number - called the Powerball - from a separate pool of 26. The Power Play option is available for an extra $1 per play.
Since getting its start in April 1992 in 15 states with jackpots that started at a guaranteed $2 million, Powerball has grown into one of the world's biggest and most recognizable lottery games. Today Powerball is played by 48 lotteries across the country with drawings at 9:59 p.m. on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
