Lottery ticket sold in Mason City expires, big prize goes unclaimed

Lottery ticket sold in Mason City expires, big prize goes unclaimed

The deadline passed Thursday afternoon and no one claimed a half-million dollar Powerball prize from a ticket sold at a northern Iowa convenience store. The 500-thousand dollar ticket was purchased at a Kwik Star in Mason City six months ago and it needed to be claimed at Iowa Lottery headquarters in Clive by 4 P-M Thursday. Lottery spokeswoman Mary Neubauer explains what will happen to the money. 

“If a prize expires without being claimed, the money goes into the lottery’s prize pools for future games and promotions," Neubauer says, "so it will go to pay prizes, just not those prizes that have expired.”

The prize was not in a regular Powerball drawing but in the Powerball Double Play drawing on March 16th. The winning ticket was part of the Double Play option that was added to the Powerball game in Iowa back in November, which is a second drawing that takes place after the first drawing.
