Ten Players Win Las Vegas Getaways in Final Winter of Winners Drawing

Ten Iowa Lottery players are bound for Las Vegas after winning trip packages in the

final drawing of the lottery’s “Winter of Winners” promotion.

The Jan. 14 drawing was the third in the winter pro-motion. In the first drawing Nov. 14, 100 Bass Pro Shops® gift cards of $250 each were awarded. In the second drawing on Dec. 14, 40 lottery players each won a home entertainment system worth $2,019.

Players made nearly 8.3 million entries in the promotion before the final entry deadline passed at noon Jan. 12.

Each trip package, valued at $4,315, includes air-fare for two to Las Vegas; a three-day, two-night stay for two in a deluxe room at THE PALMS™; roundtrip ground transportation from the desti-nation airport to THE PALMS™; ticket allowance for two tickets to a Las Vegas show; and $1,000 spending cash.

Players’ entries in the Winter of Winners drawings had corresponded to the purchase price of the nonwinning holiday scratch tickets they entered. For example, a $2 ticket received two entries in the promotion, while a $10 ticket was good for 10 entries. To enter the promotion, players had to be members of the lottery’s free VIP Club. Details about the club are available on the lottery website at www.ialottery.com and drawing results also are posted there.

After checking the “remaining prizes” sheet for scratch games at his local retailer, a Cedar Falls man decided to purchase a “Gemstone 10s” instant-scratch game and ended up winning a top prize of $100,000.

Steven Penberthy, 40, said he often checks the sheet that shows how many top prizes are left in each game before deciding which ones to buy.

“Saw that there was still 12 winners and thought, ‘Oh, I’ll try that today,’” Penberthy said.

Penberthy purchased his ticket at Kum & Go, 1976 Franklin St. in Waterloo and went out to his truck to scratch his ticket.

“Sat there for a minute and scratched it and I about had a heart attack sitting right there,” he said.

Penberthy took his ticket back into Kum & Go to have it validated.

“When she was done with another customer I said, ‘You need to come over here.’ And I gave her a big hug and showed her,” Penberthy said.

Penberthy, who is a massage therapist and also works for Union Pacific Railroad, claimed his prize the same day he scratched the ticket.

Penberthy had not yet called his wife, Molly, to tell her the news.

“What I’m gonna do is wait until I get home and put the check on the kitchen table - let her walk in and see it,” he said.

Penberthy said he and Molly have thought for years about what they’d do if they ever won big. He is planning to pay off nearly all his debt and maybe get something fun for himself.

Ten Players Win Las Vegas Getaways in Final Winter of Winners Drawing

Ten Iowa Lottery players are bound for Las Vegas after winning trip packages in the

final drawing of the lottery’s “Winter of Winners” promotion.

The Jan. 14 drawing was the third in the winter pro-motion. In the first drawing Nov. 14, 100 Bass Pro Shops® gift cards of $250 each were awarded. In the second drawing on Dec. 14, 40 lottery players each won a home entertainment system worth $2,019.

Players made nearly 8.3 million entries in the promotion before the final entry deadline passed at noon Jan. 12.

Each trip package, valued at $4,315, includes air-fare for two to Las Vegas; a three-day, two-night stay for two in a deluxe room at THE PALMS™; roundtrip ground transportation from the desti-nation airport to THE PALMS™; ticket allowance for two tickets to a Las Vegas show; and $1,000 spending cash.

Players’ entries in the Winter of Winners drawings had corresponded to the purchase price of the nonwinning holiday scratch tickets they entered. For example, a $2 ticket received two entries in the promotion, while a $10 ticket was good for 10 entries. To enter the promotion, players had to be members of the lottery’s free VIP Club. Details about the club are available on the lottery website at www.ialottery.com and drawing results also are posted there.

The following players each won a trip package to THE PALMS™ in Las Vegas:

Lisa Casey, Waterloo

Christopher Cox, Melcher

Barb Fagan, Onslow

Jacquelyn Goodson, Hiawatha

Robert Johnson, Independence

Jon Matteson, Thor

Kathy McKeehan, Ottumwa

Andy Pearson, Central City

Mona Shelangoski, Batavia

Players may need to be reminded to be patient when using the lottery’s ticket self-check-ers to validate their scratch or lotto tickets.

The self-checkers run on the same communication data line as the Wave lotto terminal. So if a clerk is selling a lotto ticket or vali-dating a scratch ticket at the same time a player is attempting to use the self-checker, the self-checker will pause until the lotto terminal’s transaction is finished.
