CLIVE, Iowa - An eastern Iowa woman has won a $100,000 lottery prize.
Debra McGrew of Cedar Rapids won the big prize in the Iowa Lottery's "Word Search" InstaPlay game. She purchased her winning ticket at Hy-Vee Drugstore, 1520 6th Street SW in Cedar Rapids, and claimed her prize Friday at the lottery's Cedar Rapids regional office.
Word Search is a $20 game that features 25 top prizes of $100,000, 75 prizes of $20,000 and overall odds of 1 in 3.05.
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 ialottery.com.
