DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The latest on tonight’s (Wednesday’s) Powerball drawing: The largest lottery jackpot in the world is up for grabs in the latest Powerball drawing. The prize has climbed to an estimated $1.5 billion, easily surpassing all other lotteries. The jackpot estimate is reviewed daily, so it could increase before tonight’s drawing if ticket sales continue to exceed expectations.
The jackpot for the twice-weekly game started at $40 million on Nov. 4. No one has matched all six Powerball numbers since then, so the prize kept growing. Lottery officials expect at least 80 percent of the 292.2 million number combinations will be purchased before the drawing.
Here is the latest Iowa news from The Associated Press
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — It is a record year for Iowa and Nebraska crop farmers. The final harvest report released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture says Iowa farmers brought in 2.5 billion bushels of corn, 4 percent higher than the 2009 record. Iowa has led the nation in corn production for 22 consecutive years. The average per-acre yield of 192 bushels also is a new record.
A federal judge says the Iowa Supreme Court should settle legal questions about whether farmland drainage districts can be held liable for water pollution downstream before a lawsuit filed by a Des Moines water utility can proceed. Questions such as immunity for drainage districts and which constitutional protections might apply to parties challenging drainage systems have not been decided by state or federal courts in Iowa. The drainage districts have been around since the late 1800s.
MUSCATINE, Iowa (AP) — The Muscatine County Board of Supervisors has accepted a $15,000 grant from the State Historical Society of Iowa to study possible uses for the county’s historic jail. The grant, along with a $5,600 cash match from the county, will pay for a consultant to assess the condition of the Old Jail, which was built in 1857. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Muscatine County must also provide a $5,000 in-kind match.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — An Iowa legislative committee plans to look into the jackpot-fixing scandal that started in the state and has spread to several other state lotteries. State Rep. Bobby Kaufmann said yesterday that the Iowa House committee will investigate how it was possible for an employee at the Multi-State Lottery Association to allegedly fix jackpots. The alleged scheme didn’t affect Powerball, which uses balls instead of computers to draw numbers.
