Jackson County Man Claims Large Lottery Prize

Gary Knief Claims Big Prize In InstaPlay Lottery

Gary Knief

CLIVE, Iowa — A Jackson County man has claimed a large lottery prize of more than $160,000.

Gary Knief, of Bellevue, won an Extreme Green Progressive InstaPlay jackpot prize of $160,074. He purchased his winning ticket at Kalmes Store, 100 N. Main in Saint Donatus, and claimed his prize Monday at the lottery's Cedar Rapids regional office.

The Extreme Green Progressive jackpot starts at $20,000 and increases with each ticket sold in the game 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 $20. For more information, visit www.ialottery.com.
