The lucky man, who has chosen to remain anonymous, has been a regular lottery player for several years. “I thought I was dreaming when I checked the numbers and realized I had won,” he said. “I couldn’t believe my eyes.” The winning numbers were 8-19-20-41-57, with a Mega Ball number of 25. The Des Moines man matched all five regular numbers, as well as the Mega Ball, to win the impressive jackpot. “I’ve always fantasized about winning the lottery, but I never thought it would actually happen to me,” he said. “This is a dream come true.” The winner plans to use the prize money to pay off his mortgage, invest for the future, and take care of his family. He also intends to donate a portion of his winnings to his favorite charities. “This money will change my life and the lives of my loved ones,” he said. “I’m so grateful for this incredible opportunity.” The Des Moines man’s win marks the second time in 2023 that an Iowan has won a Mega Millions jackpot. In January, a resident of Waterloo won a $128 million prize. “We are thrilled to have another Mega Millions winner from Iowa,” said Iowa Lottery CEO Bobby Carpenter. “The lottery plays a vital role in our state, generating revenue for important programs and providing life-changing opportunities for Iowans.”
