NE Iowa Ticket Wins Prize of $25,000 a Year for Life in Lucky for Life® Game
It is Iowa's Second Big Winner In The Game This Summer
CLIVE, Iowa — Someone who bought a lottery ticket at a convenience store in Black Hawk County won a prize of $25,000 a year for life Sunday in the Lucky for Life game. The big win comes about a month after a Davenport man claimed that same prize from one of the game's drawings in June.
The Black Hawk County ticket matched the first five numbers but missed the Lucky Ball in Sunday's Lucky for Life drawing to win the game's second prize of $25,000 a year for life. The winning ticket was purchased at Git N Go Convenience Store, 124 Wood St. in Hudson.
It is Iowa's 15th big win in the game since its January 2016 debut in our state. It is also the second big win in the game this summer.
In late June, Doug Schlickman of Davenport claimed a prize of $25,000 a year for life that he had won in the Lucky for Life drawing on June 27.
Lucky for Life is a $2 game with drawings each night. 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 Sunday's Lucky for Life drawing were: 11-27-37-38-48 and Lucky Ball 16. Git N 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 one 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 $3 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 at:
