The Iowa Lottery says it saw record sales of $36.7 million in revenue for October up 5%.

Fourteen Iowa Lottery players claimed prizes of at least $500,000 during the fiscal year, with the highest winnings being $2 million in Powerball games — one for a Clinton man in April, and one for a Treynor man in January. A Powerball Double Play prize of $500,000, won in March in Mason City, remains unclaimed.

Proceeds from the lottery go to multiple sources, including the Iowa Veterans Trust Fund and programs supporting Iowa law enforcement, firefighters and corrections employees who die in the line of duty, as well as to projects through the state General Fund.

Dana Wingert, Des Moines chief of police and chair of the Iowa Lottery Commission, praised lottery efforts to highlight National Gambling Awareness Month and the services available in the state for people facing gambling addiction disorders.
