CLIVE, Iowa — Someone who bought a lottery ticket at a northwest Iowa convenience store won a prize of $100,000 a year for life in Friday's drawing of the Millionaire for Life™ game.
It is Iowa's first big win since the game's February debut. The lucky ticket matched the first five numbers but missed the Millionaire Ball in Tuesday's drawing to win the game's second prize of $100,000 a year for life. The winning ticket was purchased at Brew, 210 W. Main St. in Sac City.
The winning numbers in the drawing were 14-16-21-43-51 and Millionaire Ball 3.
Millionaire for Life is a $5 game with nightly drawings with the best odds of any lotto game and the highest daily jackpot in lottery history. The game's top two prize levels are described as "lasting as long as you do," meaning that they are truly for life. The minimum guaranteed payout for those two prize levels is 20 years, and there is a lump-sum option for players who would prefer that rather than lifetime annuity payments.
Players in Millionaire for Life choose five numbers from a pool of 58 for the white balls and one out of five numbers for the Millionaire Ball. Players can win the game's top prize of $1 million a year for life by matching all six numbers selected in one of its drawings. The game's second prize – for matching the first five numbers but missing the Millionaire Ball – is $100,000 a year for life. Other prize levels in the game range from $8 up to $7,500.
Prizes at the top two levels in Millionaire for Life must be claimed at the Iowa Lottery's main office in Clive. If the winner or winners of the Sac City ticket have questions before coming forward to claim the prize, they are welcome to call the lottery at 515-725-7900 or email wmaster@ialottery.com.
