Officials with the Iowa Lottery say someone in Guthrie County bought a two-dollar Powerball ticket for Saturday’s drawing, that earned them a cool $1-million. The lottery says the ticket was purchased at a Casey’s convenience store in Guthrie Center. Officials say the lucky player matched the first five numbers in Saturday’s drawing but missed the Powerball. The entire $50 million jackpot went unclaimed. So far, no one has fessed up to owning the winning $1-million ticket. In January, the cost to play Powerball increased to $2 from $1. But the prize for matching the first five numbers increased to $1 million from $200,000, the lottery said. Saturday’s winning numbers were 23, 28, 50, 56, 59 and Powerball 5.

Sheriff’s Officials couldn’t say Sunday evening if Crain had issued a distress call, or if there was any indication of engine failure prior to the crash. Investigators from the Federal Aviation Administration will work with local officials on Monday, to determine what caused the crash.

FAA records show the BD-4 Crain flew had a Lycoming engine capable of producing up to 200-horsepower.
