$1 Million Winning Powerball Ticket Sold In Iowa

The Iowa Lottery has confirmed that someone who bought a Powerball ticket in Webster City won a $1 million prize in the game’s drawing from Monday night's drawing. If you bought a Powerball ticket from the Fareway (942 Second St.) in Webster City, you might want to double-check it. That ticket matched the first five numbers but missed the Powerball to win a $1 million prize.

Monday night's Powerball winning numbers were: 29-42-44-51-54 and Powerball 12. The Power Play® number was 2. No one matched all six numbers to win the jackpot, so the big prize climbs to an estimated $185 million annuity for tonight's drawing.

The Webster City ticket was the only one in the country to win a $1 million prize or more in Monday's drawing.

Fareway will receive a nice little $1,000 bonus from the Iowa Lottery for selling the $1 million-winning ticket.

Powerball prizes won in Iowa have to be claimed within 180 days of the drawing. The $1 million prize has to be claimed at Iowa Lottery headquarters in Clive, according to officials. The lottery’s offices are open Monday through Friday, and an appointment is strongly encouraged.
