Ticket purchased in NW Iowa wins $1 Million Powerball Prize

CLIVE, IOWA — Leap Year luck has struck in northwest Iowa. Someone who bought a Powerball ticket in Correctionville won a $1 million prize in Saturday’s drawing.

It was the only $1 million-winning ticket nationwide in the Feb. 29 drawing. The leap-year date falls on a Saturday, one of the days when Powerball drawings occur, only about every 28 years.

The $1 million-winning ticket was purchased at Brew, a convenience store and coffee shop at 404 11th St. in Correctionville. The ticket came within one number of having at least a share of Saturday’s $80 million jackpot.

The ticket matched the first five numbers but missed the Powerball to win a $1 million prize. Saturday’s winning numbers were: 24-44-46-50-51 and Powerball 13. The Power Play® number was 3. No one matched all six numbers to win the jackpot, so the big prize climbs to an estimated $90 million annuity ($67.9 million lump-sum option) for Wednesday.

Brew will receive a $1,000 bonus from the Iowa Lottery for selling the $1 million-winning ticket at one of its stores.

Prizes of $1 million must be claimed at Iowa Lottery headquarters in Clive. The lottery’s offices are open Monday through Friday.
