COUNCIL BLUFFS WOMAN WINS $10,000 LOTTERY PRIZE

Kathleen Moulton Claims $10,000 Prize from June 17 Powerball® Drawing

DES MOINES, Iowa – A Council Bluffs woman won a prize of $10,000 in the June 17 Powerball drawing.

Kathleen Moulton claimed her prize Friday at the Iowa Lottery’s regional office in Council Bluffs. She bought her winning Powerball ticket at Ampride, 4040 S. Expressway in Council Bluffs.

The winning numbers on June 17 were 5-9-37-42-53 and Powerball 27. The Power Play multiplier was 5. Moulton 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, she would have multiplied her $10,000 win by five and won a total of $50,000.

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.
