Iowa Winning Streak: Third Big Win In Lucky For Life Game In Three Months

Latest Is A Ticket Winning $25,000 A Year For Life

CLIVE, Iowa -For the third time in as many months, Iowa has a big winner in the multi-state Lucky for Life® game.

The latest big win hit on a ticket purchased in Waukee for Sunday's drawing in that game. The Waukee ticket matched the first five numbers but missed the Lucky Ball to win at the game's second prize level of $25,000 a year for life.

The ticket was purchased at Kum & Go, 3105 Grand Prairie Parkway in Waukee. Sunday's winning Lucky for Life numbers were: 9-12-22-36-45 and Lucky Ball 3.

Kum & Go will receive a $500 bonus from the lottery for selling the winning ticket.

The Winning Streak

In November, a Des Moines man won the game's top prize of $1,000 a day for life. And in October, another Des Moines man won at the game's second prize level of $25,000 a year for life.

With the latest win added in, Iowa has seen 23 winners at Lucky for Life's top two prize levels since the game's January 2016 debut in our state.

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.

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 Lucky for Life prize won in Waukee must be claimed at Iowa Lottery headquarters in Clive within 180 days of the drawing.

If the winner has questions before coming forward to claim the prize, they are welcome to call the lottery at 515-725-7900 or email wmaster@ialottery.com.
