The Iowa Lottery announced today (Monday) they will be giving players a chance to win $1 million in unclaimed prize money. The ticket was sold in April of last year at the Casey’s General Store in Nevada, and the deadline to claim the prize passed on Thursday, April 11. “Iowa law makes clear that unclaimed money from lottery prizes goes into our prize pools for future games and promotions. And that’s exactly what we’re doing with this one-time, $1 million giveaway,” says Iowa Lottery CEO, Matt Strawn. According to their records, this is the first time in the Iowa Lottery’s 34-year history a prize of this size has gone unclaimed. As a result, the Lottery has announced a one-time giveaway, “Woo Hoo A Million For You.” Lottery tickets sold from May 29 to June 18 will be eligible to enter the giveaway for their chance to win. More than $1.4 million in prizes went unclaimed in 2018. Full details and rules for the giveaway can be found by following the link included with this story on our website.
