IOWA CITY, Iowa (CBS2/FOX28) — A 92-year-old man is just the third Iowan to win the 'Lucky for Life' for life drawing which entitled him to $25,000 per year.
Charles Svatos bought the winning ticket for the September 25 drawing at the Gasby's on Hawkeye Drive in North Liberty.
Svatos chose to receive his prize as a lump sum of $390,000, which he plans to use to travel. His winnings ended up being $273,000 after taxes.
Players can win Lucky for Life’s top prize of $1,000 a day for life by matching all six numbers selected in one of its drawings. The game’s second prize – for matching the first five numbers but missing the Lucky Ball – is $25,000 a year for life.
The winning numbers in that night’s Lucky for Life drawing were: 14-17-19-30-48 and Lucky Ball 4.
Oddly enough, Svatos said he bought a fortune cookie last month at a casino that said, “You will discover an unexpected treasure.”
