Two Maquoketa Men Split Big InstaPlay Lottery Prize

Casey McLaughlin, Paul Tobin Win InstaPlay Jackpot Prize

Casey McLaughlin and Paul Tobin

CLIVE, Iowa — Two Maquoketa men have won a lottery prize of more than $30,000.

Casey McLaughlin and Paul "P.J." Tobin won a jackpot prize in the Iowa Lottery's "JACKPOT PARTY" Progressive InstaPlay game. They purchased their winning ticket at Timber Lanes Bowling Center, 1005 E. Platt St. in Maquoketa, and claimed their prize of $30,934 on Wednesday at the lottery's Cedar Rapids regional office.

The JACKPOT PARTY Progressive jackpot starts at $10,000 and increases with each ticket sold statewide until it is won.

The InstaPlay product combines features from instant-scratch and lotto games. InstaPlay tickets are called "scratchless" because they have no security coating that needs to be removed to determine the prize won. And rather than having supplies of tickets printed in advance like those in traditional scratch and pull-tab games, InstaPlay tickets are printed on demand from the lottery terminal.

InstaPlay games range in price from $1 to $30. For more information, visit www.ialottery.com.
