CLIVE, Iowa - A Davenport woman has won a $25,000 lottery prize in what she called a case of perfect timing.
"I basically was told that I had to get a new car, so it couldn't have come at a better time for me," Heather Pierson said on Friday as she claimed her prize at the lottery's Cedar Rapids regional office. "It's just crazy how it worked out."
Pierson, 45, won the 38th top prize in the Iowa Lottery's "Wild Bingo" scratch game. She bought her winning ticket at Express Lane, 1208 E. Locust St. in Davenport, where she stopped on her way home from work.
"I scratched it off and I was sitting in my car and I'm like, 'What the heck? That can't be right!'" she said. "I took it inside and scanned it, and I about passed out!"
Wild Bingo is a $2 scratch game that features 45 top prizes of $25,000 and overall odds of 1 in 3.34. For more information about this game and the number of prizes still available, visit ialottery.com.
