Winning $40 million Lotto America ticket sold in Iowa
Ticket purchased Saturday at Eichman’s in Dubuque
DES MOINES — Someone had a lucky April Fools’ Day in Iowa.
Lottery officials said a winning $40 million Lotto America ticket was sold Saturday in Dubuque.
The ticket was purchased at Eichman’s, a restaurant and convenience store, which will receive $5,000 for selling the ticket.
The winner could claim a $40.03 million annuity or the $21.28 million cash option. That's a record for the game, with the previous largest jackpot of $22.82 million purchased in March 2018 by a Minnesota family.
The winning numbers were 2-38-43-46-51 and Star Ball 7.
Lottery tickets are seen in October 2018 at the Johnson Avenue Hy-Vee in Cedar Rapids. (The Gazette)
