Iowa Powerball Power Play Winner David Lyons

David Lyons - Iowa Powerball WinnerDavid Lyons is the latest Iowa Powerball Power Play winner. He won $1 million. He bought his winning ticket at the Short Stop store in Ankeny, Iowa (Just outside of Des Moines), where he usually buys his tickets. That was for a Powerball drawing in late March. However, he didn't claim his prize until early April.

In the few days that it took him to claim his prize, the rumor mill in Ankeny, Iowa went off the charts. The store knew that they had sold the winning million dollar ticket and correctly figured out that it was David that had bought it. They told someone and that someone told someone else until everybody was talking about it. It's hard to keep a secret like winning a million dollars!

David Lyons was actually a big-time lottery player. He normally bought over $50 worth of tickets every week. That's a lot of money to be spending on lottery tickets. But, alas, his big payoff finally came!

At the time of his win, David Lyons was 60-years-old and working the night-shift at Wal-Mart, where his job was to stock shelves. He said that he would remain working at Wal-Mart, at least for the time-being.

When asked what his plans were now that he had won $1 million, David replied, "I haven't really though about it. I still don't really believe that I won. But I guess I have!"
