CLIVE, Iowa — A Clarion woman has won a $50,000 Powerball prize.
Alison Russell matched four of five white balls and the Powerball in the Sept. 2 drawing. She was one number away from winning that night's $56 million jackpot.
She purchased her winning ticket at Casey's, 222 Central Ave. W. in Clarion, and claimed her prize on Tuesday at the lottery's Mason City regional office.
The winning numbers in the Sept. 2 drawing were 1-4-11-20-69 and Powerball 18. The Power Play was 2.
Players in $2 Powerball choose their first five numbers from a pool of 69, and another number – called the Powerball – from a separate pool of 26. The Power Play option is available for an extra $1 per play.
Since getting its start in April 1992 in 15 states with jackpots that started at a guaranteed $2 million, Powerball has grown into one of the world's biggest and most recognizable lottery games. Today Powerball is played by 48 lotteries across the country with drawings at 9:59 p.m. on Wednesdays and Saturdays..
