CLIVE, Iowa - Someone who bought a lottery ticket at a Davenport convenience store won a prize of $25,000 a year for life Monday in the Lucky for Life game. The big win came just a handful of days after a Cedar Rapids couple claimed that same prize from one of the game's earlier drawings.
The Davenport ticket matched the first five numbers but missed the Lucky Ball in Monday night's drawing to win Lucky for Life's second prize of $25,000 a year for life. The winning ticket was purchased at Kwik Star, 1225 E. Kimberly Road in Davenport.
It is Iowa's 14th big winner in the game since it debuted in January 2016 in our state.
On June 22, a Cedar Rapids couple claimed a prize of $25,000 a year for life that they had won in the Lucky for Life drawing on Nov. 4. Chuck and Sherry Thomas said they had known since shortly after the drawing that they had won, and they purposefully waited to claim their prize until they had a plan in place for their winnings.
Lucky for Life is a $2 game with drawings each night. 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.
The winning numbers in Monday's Lucky for Life drawing were: 2-12-16-29-40 and Lucky Ball 13. Kwik Star will receive a $500 bonus from the lottery for selling the winning ticket.
Players in Lucky for Life choose five numbers from a pool of 48 for the white balls and 1 out of 18 numbers for the Lucky Ball. Players can win the game's top prize of $1,000 a day 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 Lucky Ball – is $25,000 a year for life. Other prize levels in the game range from $3 up to $5,000.
Prizes at the top two levels in Lucky for Life must be claimed at Iowa Lottery headquarters in Clive. The lottery currently offers prize claims by appointment at its offices. Full details are available on the lottery's website here.
If the winner or winners of the Davenport ticket have questions before coming forward to claim the prize, they are welcome to call the lottery at 515-725-7900. Players in Lucky for Life have up to 365 days from the date of the drawing to claim prizes won in Iowa.
