CLIVE, Iowa - Someone who bought a Powerball® ticket at a Clinton store won a $2 million prize in Saturday's drawing. It is the eighth lottery prize of $1 million or more won this year in Iowa.
The $2 million-winning ticket was purchased at Clinton Liquor, 1641 S. Bluff Blvd. in Clinton. The ticket came within one number of winning Saturday's $337.9 million jackpot.
The ticket initially matched the first five numbers but missed the Powerball to win a $1 million prize. But whoever bought the ticket also added the Power Play® option to the purchase, which multiplies the prize at the Match 5 level to $2 million. The Clinton ticket was the only one in the country to win a $2 million prize in Saturday's drawing.
Saturday's winning numbers were: 27-33-63-66-68 and Powerball 9. The Power Play number was 2. No one matched all six numbers to win the jackpot, so the big prize climbs to an estimated $352 million annuity ($163.3 million lump-sum option) for Monday.
Clinton Liquor will receive a $2,000 bonus from the Iowa Lottery for selling the $2 million-winning ticket.
Prizes of $2 million must be claimed at Iowa Lottery headquarters in Clive. The lottery's offices are open Monday through Friday, and appointments are strongly encouraged for those claims. To make an appointment or contact the lottery with questions, winners are welcome to call the lottery at 515-725-7900 or email to wmaster@ialottery.com.
Another $2 million Powerball prize recently won in Iowa also remains unclaimed. That prize was won in the Oct. 7 drawing with a ticket purchased at Casey's, 403 Stephans St. in Tiffin.
Powerball prizes currently won in Iowa must be claimed within 180 days of the drawing for which they were won. The lottery reminds players to double-check their tickets.
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.
