News broke early Friday morning that a winning ticket for one big lottery prize was purchased in Waterloo. Iowa Lottery officials confirmed that whoever did buy the ticket will be winning money for the rest of their life.

Someone who visited the Kwik Star located at 1636 W. Fourth St. in Waterloo has won  a prize of $25,000 a year for life in Thursday’s drawing of the Lucky for Life® game.

This ticket matched up with the very first five numbers. However, it missed the Lucky Ball number and won the second highest prize...which again is $25,000 for life and that's nothing to cry about. This local Kwik Star will also receive a $500 bonus for selling this lucky ticket.

The winning numbers in the drawing were:

3-12-17-42-45 and Lucky Ball 6

If you looked down at your ticket and saw these numbers then the next step requires you to go to the Iowa Lottery headquarters in Clive to claim your prize. For more information about claiming said prize lottery officials encourage you to reach out to them at 515-725-7900 or email wmaster@ialottery.com.

The winner or winners of this major prize has 365 days from the time of the drawing to claim the winnings. Stay up to date with all Iowa Lottery news by downloading the station app. Also, make sure to have up to the minute coverage by following us across all social media platforms.
