DES MOINES, Iowa — The Oct. 3 Lotto America drawing produced a $6.14 million jackpot, with the winning ticket sold at a QuikTrip convenience store in Des Moines, the Des Moines Register reported on Oct. 7. It is one of the largest lottery prizes awarded in Iowa in recent memory.

Lotto America is a multi-state game drawn three times a week. The jackpot had rolled over through multiple drawings before reaching $6.14 million and landing in Des Moines.

Iowa Lottery proceeds support veterans' programs and public causes across the state. Officials remind players to play responsibly.
