A Powerball ticket sold in Iowa nearly claimed a share of Saturday’s massive jackpot. Iowa Lottery officials say the ticket, purchased at a Hy-Vee in Marion, came within one number of sharing the $559.7 million jackpot. Instead, the holder of the ticket that matched four of the first five numbers and the Powerball will claim a prize of $50,000.

The Powerball jackpot was won with a ticket purchased in New Hampshire, while Friday’s $450 million Mega Millions jackpot was won with a ticket purchased in Florida. This weekend marked the first time the Powerball and Mega Millions jackpots were simultaneously above the $400 million mark.

The winning numbers in Saturday’s Powerball jackpot drawing were: 12-29-30-33-61 and Powerball 26. The Power Play number was 3. The winning numbers in Friday’s Mega Millions jackpot drawing were: 28-30-39-59-70 and Mega Ball 10. The Megaplier number was 3.

A woman from Pottawattamie County was the driver of a vehicle involved in a three-vehicle accident Sunday  evening, in north central Iowa. The Iowa State Patrol says 20-year old Carli Jo Fenn, of Carson, was driving a 2004 Pontiac Grand Am that slipped onto the south shoulder while traveling east on Highway 20, in Hardin County.

Fenn over-corrected, which sent the car into the median and onto the west bound lane. In that lane, the car struck a 2016 Toyota Highlander SUV, and a 2015 Ford pickup. The accident happened at around 4:35-p.m.

The driver of the SUV, 52-year old David Pietan, of Johnston, was injured in the crash and transported by Ackley Ambulance to a hospital in Iowa Falls. Neither Fenn, nor the driver of the pickup, 22-year old Jordan Ingram, of Oelwein, were injured.

The State Patrol was assisted at the scene by the Hardin County Sheriff’s Office and E-Squad, Ackley Fire/Ambulance, and Steamboat Fire/Ambulance.
