WEBSTER CITY, Iowa [KCCI] – A lucky Iowa lottery player won $1 million in Monday night’s Powerball drawing. The winning ticket was purchased at Fareway, 942 Second St. in Webster City, according to a news release from the Iowa Lottery. It matched the first five numbers (29-42-44-51-54) but missed the Powerball (12) to win a $1 million prize.

No one matched all six numbers to win the jackpot, according to the release, so the jackpot climbs to an estimated $185 million for the game’s next drawing on Wednesday. The Webster City ticket was the only one in the country to win a $1 million prize in Monday’s drawing. Powerball prizes won in Iowa must be claimed within 180 days of the drawing.

Three Iowans have claimed Powerball prizes worth at least $1 million this year:

• Danny Buckelew, of Treynor, claimed his $2 million prize in January. He matched all five white balls in the Oct. 7, 2023, drawing, missing only the Powerball.
• Mark Krogman, of Clinton, claimed his $2 million prize in April. He matched the first five numbers in the Nov. 25, 2023, drawing, but missed the Powerball. Buckelew and Krogman had added the Power Play option to their tickets, which increased their $1 million winnings to $2 million.
• Trent Baker, of Newton, claimed a $1 million prize in April. Baker’s ticket was one of seven across the country that missed a share of the $1.326 billion jackpot by just one number. He hit the first five numbers but missed the Powerball. A player in Oregon hit the big prize.

Prizes of $1 million must be claimed at Iowa Lottery headquarters in Clive. The lottery’s offices are open Monday through Friday, and appointments are strongly encouraged for those claims.
