Des Moines Woman Wins $50,000 Lottery Prize

Darlene Ackley-Raymond Claims Top Prize in 'Triple Play'

Darlene Ackley-Raymond

CLIVE, Iowa — A Des Moines woman has won a $50,000 lottery prize.

Darlene Ackley-Raymond won a top prize in the Iowa Lottery's "Triple Play" InstaPlay game. She purchased her winning ticket at Hy-Vee, 7101 University Ave. in Windsor Heights, and claimed her prize on Wednesday at lottery headquarters in Clive.

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 $10. For more information, visit www.ialottery.com.
