Playing the Iowa Lottery
By JC Davis

Though the odds are not necessarily in your favor, there is always a possibility that you can hit the jackpot with Iowa Powerball. Even though your odds are not great, you still have just as much of a chance at winning per ticket than anyone else. The Iowa Powerball game involves choosing six different numbers. Five of these numbers must range from one to fifty-five, and the sixth number, the Powerball number, must fall between one and forty-two.

The rules of the game are simple. If you get all six Iowa Power Ball numbers correct, you win the jackpot. This is a really big deal, considering that it has been more than six hundred million dollars in the past! Jackpots can get so large because Power ball game tickets are sold in twenty-seven different states, making it the largest multi-state in the country. The Iowa Powerball jackpot builds from one drawing to the next, and if there is no winner of a drawing, the jackpot amount rolls over. This means that a single winner could win more money from the Iowa Power Ball than he or she could ever imagine.

Even if you do not win the big grand prize, there are still quite a few smaller prizes that are awarded for having less than the needed six numbers. For instance, if you match all five of the one to fifty-five numbers but do not match the Power Ball, you will still win two hundred thousand dollars from the Iowa Powerball lottery.

You can find the Iowa Power Ball result on the official Iowa Powerball website or on powerball.com. You can also watch the drawings live on television on a variety of



local Iowa television stations. Powerball drawings take place on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 10:59 in the evening.
