Cash Game. It's sounds like fun. We like cash and we like games. Put them together and you get Cash Game. That's a 5/35 lotto game from Iowa Lottery. It's simple, but we just like the way it sounds. And, Ethel McDowell won the jackpot in the Cash Game in March of 2009.
Ethel McDowell won the Cash Game jackpot of $100,000. Cash Game costs $1 to play and runs every day, Monday through to Wednesday. To win the jackpot, players must match all five out of thirty-five numbers. The odds of getting all five numbers are 1-in-325,000.
During the March 25th drawing, Ethel's son suggested that she might have all the numbers. So she double-checked her tickets and, sure enough, she did! Ethel said that her husband was very excited, but she didn't say anything about how she felt. Oh well, maybe winning large sums of money just isn't that interesting to her? She did say that their was several things she'd like to do with the money, but she didn't elaborate.
At the time of her win, Ethel McDowell was 77 years old and living in Mount Pleasant, Iowa with her husband, Bruce. The couple were retired and had six children.
Congratulations to both Ethel and Bruce on their lucky lottery win!
