Don Nederhoff Wins Big Prize in Jan.5 Hot Lotto® Drawing
DES MOINES, Iowa - An Ackley man won a $30,000 prize in the Jan. 5 Hot Lotto drawing.
Don Nederhoff claimed his prize Wednesday at the Iowa Lottery's headquarters in Des Moines. He purchased his winning ticket at Kum & Go, 420 Sherman St. in Ackley.
Nederhoff's $30,000 winning ticket came close to winning it all in the Jan. 5 drawing, matching the first five numbers but missing the Hot Ball. The winning numbers in the $8.96 million Hot Lotto jackpot drawing that night were: 4-6-11-28-29 and Hot Ball 10.
Players can multiply their non-jackpot prizes by three by purchasing the Hot Lotto with Sizzler option. The cost is $1 per play. Because Nederhoff added the Sizzler to his ticket, he multiplied his $10,000 win to $30,000.
