Sheldon, Iowa — No winning tickets were sold for Saturday’s Powerball drawing — but one ticket sold in Sheldon is worth $150,000. And Monday’s jackpot has now swelled to an estimated one-point-nine BILLION dollars.
Three tickets sold in Iowa for SATURDAY’S drawing were one number away from claiming the previous world-record jackpot of one-point-six billion. Those three tickets each matched four of the first five numbers drawn, along with the correct Powerball number. Iowa Lottery officials say two of those tickets — worth 50-thousand dollars each — were purchased in Clinton and Sabula. The person who bought the other ticket at the Hy-Vee C-Store in Sheldon paid a dollar extra for the so-called “Power Play” option and it made their winning ticket worth 150-thousand dollars.
Over five-point-nine MILLION dollars worth of Powerball tickets were sold IN IOWA for Saturday’s drawing. Iowa Lottery officials have released a list of the top 10 retailers for Iowa Lottery sales from Sunday, October 30th through Saturday, November 5th. Half are in the Cedar Rapids-Marion metro and. among the 10 top lottery retailers last week, nine are Hy-Vee stores.
