CLIVE, Iowa — A man from far eastern Iowa has claimed a $2 million Powerball prize he won in November. According to an Iowa Lottery press release, 72-year-old Mark Krogman, of Clinton, who is retired, claimed his prize on Wednesday. He said he felt “shock and joy” when he found out he’d won. Krogman’s ticket was purchased at Clinton Liquor and came within one number of winning the $337.9 million jackpot in the Powerball drawing on Nov. 25.

Krogman’s ticket was the only one in the country to win a $2 million prize in that night’s drawing. His ticket initially matched the first five numbers but missed the Powerball to win a $1 million prize. Krogman had also added the Power Play option to his purchase, which multiplies the prize at the Match 5 level to $2 million, the release said.

Krogman has specific plans for his winnings, including paying off his house with a possible add-on, helping his family financially, and simply enjoying life.

Clinton Liquor received a $2,000 bonus from the Iowa Lottery for selling the winning ticket.
