JACKSON COUNTY WOMAN WINS $10,000 LOTTERY PRIZE

Susan Greer Osterhaus Claims $10,000 Prize from May 20 Powerball® Drawing

DES MOINES, Iowa – A Jackson County woman won $10,000 in the May 20 Powerball drawing, which had an estimated jackpot of $169.2 million.

Susan Greer Osterhaus of Andrew claimed her prize Friday at the Iowa Lottery’s regional office in Cedar Rapids. She bought her winning Powerball ticket at Casey's, 801 E. Platt St. in Maquoketa.

The winning numbers on May 20 were: 23-30-31-35-42 and Powerball 6. The Power Play multiplier was 2. Greer Osterhaus matched four of the first five numbers drawn and the Powerball to win a $10,000 prize. Had she added the Power Play® to her ticket, Greer Osterhaus would have multiplied her $10,000 win by two and won a total of $20,000.

Players can increase their prizes with the Power Play (except the jackpot) up to five times. The cost is $1 per play. The Power Play number, 2 through 5, is chosen at the beginning of the drawing indicating the amount prizes (except the jackpot) will be multiplied if that number is drawn.

For players who choose the Power Play and match five white balls (regularly a $200,000 prize), the multiplier will always be 5, so those players would win an instant $1 million.
