CLIVE, Iowa - Someone who bought a lottery ticket at a central Iowa convenience store won a prize of $25,000 a year for life Wednesday in the Lucky for Life game.
The Adel ticket matched the first five numbers but missed the Lucky Ball in Wednesday's drawing to win Lucky for Life's second prize of $25,000 a year for life. The winning ticket was purchased at Kum & Go, 409 Nile Kinnick Dr. S. in Adel.
It is Iowa's 12th big winner in the game since it debuted in January 2016 in our state.
Lucky for Life is a $2 game with drawings at 9:38 p.m. every day. The game's top two prize levels are described as "lasting as long as you do," meaning that they are truly for life. The minimum guaranteed payout for those two prize levels is 20 years, and there is a lump-sum option for players who would prefer that rather than lifetime annuity payments.
The winning numbers in Wednesday's Lucky for Life drawing were: 13-16-18-23-33 and Lucky Ball 17. Kum & Go will receive a $500 bonus from the lottery for selling the winning ticket.
Players in Lucky for Life choose five numbers from a pool of 48 for the white balls and 1 out of 18 numbers for the Lucky Ball. Players can win the game's top prize of $1,000 a day for life by matching all six numbers selected in one of its drawings. The game's second prize - for matching the first five numbers but missing the Lucky Ball - is $25,000 a year for life. Other prize levels in the game range from $4 up to $5,000.
Prizes at the top two levels in Lucky for Life must be claimed at Iowa Lottery headquarters in Clive. The lottery currently offers prize claims by appointment at its offices. Full details are available on the lottery's website here.
If the winner or winners of the Adel ticket have questions before coming forward to claim the prize, they are welcome to call the lottery at 515-725-7900. Players in Lucky for Life have up to 365 days from the date of the drawing to claim prizes won in Iowa.
