Here is the latest Iowa news from The Associated Press at 3:40 a.m. CDT

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa lawmakers continue debate at the Capitol as they attempt to adjourn the 2017 legislative session. Lawmakers were meeting privately Friday night in an effort to finalize a bill that helps make up the roughly $7.2 billion budget. The so-called standing appropriation bill includes policy and spending across several state agencies. They’ve already approved most budget bills that will require Gov. Terry Branstad’s signature.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa athletic director Gary Barta testifies his relationship with former administrator Jane Meyer deteriorated after Barta informed her she wouldn’t be considered for a top role during a planned reorganization of the Hawkeyes’ athletic department. Barta began his testimony Friday in a lawsuit filed by Meyer against the university.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Raw milk advocates’ efforts to expand availability across the U.S. have not slowed despite health officials’ assertions that it’s dangerous to drink milk that hasn’t been heated to kill bacteria. Efforts to legalize raw milk sales in some form have succeeded in 42 states, and expansion pushes are ongoing this year at least a half-dozen others. Health officials say increased raw milk consumption is linked to increased illness. Advocates say pasteurization kills beneficial enzymes and proteins.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The Iowa Supreme Court has upheld a warrant to search a suspected drug dealer’s residence, even though a deputy and a judge failed to properly fill out the authorizing paperwork. The 4-3 ruling Friday exposes differences among the justices on whether officers and judges must be held to exacting standards or if seemingly minor bureaucratic oversights can be excused.

Powerball turns 25, Iowa was among 15 states involved in 1992 launch

News

April 22nd, 2017 by Ric Hanson

Tonight’s (Saturday) Powerball drawing falls on the same date that the very first drawing in the lottery game was held 25 years ago. Powerball was launched during this week in 1992 in Iowa and 14 other states. Iowa Lottery spokesperson Mary Neubauer says a lot has changed with the game in 25 years.

“Back when Powerball started, the jackpots started at $2 million and grew from there. Today, we barely blink an eye at $2 million,” Neubauer said. “It’s just funny to see how big the jackpots have become over time and all of the prizes that have been involved in that game through the years.” Powerball’s guaranteed jackpot now starts at $40 million.

Powerball tickets are now sold in 44 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The world record for the largest lottery jackpot, a Powerball prize of nearly $1.6 billion, was split by three tickets in California, Florida and Tennessee in January of 2016. “The biggest Powerball jackpot won here in Iowa was also a very sizeable prize. That was $241 million claimed by the ‘Shipping 20,’ a group of co-workers from the Quaker Oats plant in Cedar Rapids,” Neubauer said. “That was back in June of 2012.”

Neubauer has compiled a list of some Powerball factoids in Iowa. “More than 1,200 Powerball prizes of at least $10,000 have been won here in Iowa. Twenty-seven Powerball prizes of $1 million and 5 prizes of $2 million have been won in Iowa. Overall, Iowa Lottery players have won 8 jackpots in the game,” Neubauer said. The first Iowan to claim a Powerball jackpot was Ed Brown of Washington. He split a $10.4 million jackpot with a Missouri woman in December 1992.
