CLINTON, Iowa — A lottery player has 2 million reasons to be thankful after buying a Powerball ticket over the holiday weekend. According to the Iowa Lottery, someone purchased a ticket in Clinton that won $2 million in the Nov. 25 Powerball drawing. The ticket was sold at Clinton Liquor, 1641 S. Bluff Blvd., and matched the first five numbers (27-33-63-66-68 ) but missed the Powerball (9). The player added the Power Play option, which doubled the $1 million prize. The ticket sold in Clinton was the only one in the country to win a $2 million prize Saturday, the Iowa Lottery said in a news release.

Prizes above $250,000 must be claimed in person at the Iowa Lottery headquarters in Clive.

There are now two unclaimed $2 million prizes in Iowa. The other Powerball ticket worth $2 million was sold in Tiffin for the Oct. 7 drawing. The next biggest unclaimed prizes in Iowa, as of Nov. 27, are two $50,000 Powerball winners — one sold in Adel and one sold in Des Moines.
