Lucinda Pena Claims $200,000 Prize from June 20 Powerball® Drawing

DES MOINES, Iowa – A Muscatine woman won a prize of $200,000 in the June 20 Powerball drawing.

Lucinda Pena claimed her prize Wednesday at the Iowa Lottery's regional office in Cedar Rapids. She bought her winning Powerball ticket Hy-Vee, 2400 Second Ave. in Muscatine.

The winning numbers on June 20 were 3-11-18-22-28 and Powerball 33. The Power Play multiplier was 2. Pena won the $200,000 prize by matching the first five numbers but missing the Powerball. Had she added the Power Play® to her ticket, she would have multiplied her $200,000 win by an automatic 5 to win an instant $1,000,000.

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.
