Eldora man wins $30,000 lottery prize

DES MOINES, Iowa – An Eldora man won a top prize of $30,000 playing the lottery’s “Crossword” instant-scratch game.

Ronald Russell claimed his prize Thursday at the Iowa Lottery’s headquarters in Des Moines. He purchased his winning ticket at Kum & Go, 2359 Edgington Ave. in Eldora.
