CLIVE, Iowa - Someone who bought a lottery ticket at a Des Moines convenience store won Iowa's first top prize of $1,000 a day for life in the multi-state Lucky for Life® game.
It is Iowa's 22nd overall big winner in Lucky for Life since the game's January 2016 debut in our state. The other big winners were all at the game's second prize level of $25,000 a year for life.
Details About The Winning Ticket
The top-prize winning ticket matched all six winning numbers in Friday night's Lucky for Life drawing to win $1,000 a day for life. The ticket was purchased at Quik Trip, 1501 E. Grand Ave. in Des Moines.
Friday's winning Lucky for Life numbers were: 2-7-19-42-47 and Lucky Ball 4.
Quik Trip will receive a $5,000 bonus from the Iowa Lottery for selling the winning ticket.
Lucky for Life is a $2 game with drawings each night. It is sold by 23 U.S. lotteries, including Iowa.
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.
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.
Prize Claim Details
The winner of the Lucky for Life top prize has the option of claiming it with the annuity option, meaning annual payments of $365,000 ($1,000 a day) for life. The winner also can choose the lump-sum option for the prize, meaning a one-time payment of $5.75 million.
The Lucky for Life top prize must be claimed at Iowa Lottery headquarters in Clive within 180 days of the drawing. A prize-claim appointment is strongly encouraged. Lottery offices are closed on the weekend and will be closed on Monday for the Veterans Day holiday, so the earliest that the prize could be claimed is Tuesday.
If the winner or winners have questions before coming forward to claim the prize, they are welcome to call the lottery at 515-725-7900 or email wmaster@ialottery.com.
