The unidentified Beaverdale resident didn't know until Saturday that he won the Powerball jackpot.
There's one house in Beaverdale, Iowa that might get a flyover from Santa Claus this year.
An unidentified man from the Des Moines neighborhood stepped forward Saturday with the winning $113.2 million Powerball ticket from Wednesday's drawing.
Kurt Harris, manager of the Dahl's Food Mart at 1819 Beaver Ave. where the ticket was sold, said the man, "one of our good customers" who lives nearby, came in shortly after noon.
Iowa Lottery spokeswoman Mary Neubauer confirmed that the ticket was turned in Saturday but said the man's identity won't be known until he goes to the lottery headquarters to claim his jackpot.
Wednesday's Powerball jackpot was the largest won in Iowa. Five jackpots have been won by Iowans since Powerball's inception in 1985. The largest until last week was $31.8 million in 2000, won by Larry Hasken of Sabula.
Elvedina Suvic, who works at the Dahl's courtesy counter, said she verified the latest winning ticket.
The man, who asked store employees not to disclose his name, "was shocked; he didn't say a word" when the machine confirmed the winner, she said.
"I thought, 'Oh my God, I have the winning ticket in my hand,' " Suvic said. "He said he didn't know until today" that he held the lucky ticket.
Powerball is played in 27 states and the District of Columbia. The largest jackpot was $363 million, won in 2000 by two ticket holders in Illinois and Michigan.
Lottery officials said 609 tickets were sold at the Beaverdale Dahl's for Wednesday's drawing. The store will receive $10,000 for selling the winning ticket. The store's managers said they are unsure how the money will be spent.
A $200,000 winning ticket was sold at a Casey's General Store in Altoona. It was claimed by Steve Larsen of Altoona.

Winning a prize that entitle the store to receive $10,000 would make anyone "one of their good customers"

HI "FJA"........12/19/05
The story does not indicate that the Man played his own numbers or that it could have been a "quickie"
Of course with Iowans & the Powerball....often it's a "quickie"...lolololol
The Cumberland Farms in Washington Crossing Pa received $400,000.00 for selling the winning ticket for a $212 million dollar Powerball Jackpot in May 2004. I knew I wasn't dreaming. Check the Powerball website-Winner's Stories to verify my statements. Why is Dahl's claiming they are only getting ten grand? It was a smaller Jackpot but 10 grand vs. 400 thousand bucks? If anyone has any verified info please let me know. Good Luck!

I'm almost positive that Washington Crossing, Pennsylvania isn't in Iowa. Lottery retailers are agents of the state lotteries, and it's the state that pays them. Apparently Iowa pays $10,000 for a jackpot of this size. It's probably a fairly safe bet that they pay that regardless of how big the jackpot is. It may not be as much as in some other states, but it's a nice bonus for doing the same amount of work the store did for each of the losing tickets they sold.
I thought the store got more cash than 10 grand for a Jackpot that large. Am I thinking of Mega Millions stores?
No, you're right. In CA when the $315M jackpot was won the store was awarded a million bucks. I think that was Mega Millions, but it's up to the individual state in which the tickets are sold whether it's MM or PB. If I owned a convenient store I'd love to get a million dollar bonus, but even $10,000 is more than enough for someone who pressed a key.

My question was answered; in both Mega and Powerball each individual State has it's own individual rule regarding the amount the retailer that sells the winning ticket recieves. Still, what Iowa pays vs. what Pa pays is vastly different, I guess Iowa wants to keep more money for themselves, or maybe Pa wants to aggressively motivate more retailers to get Lottery machines. Thanks for the reply. Best of Luck!

Neubauer says there is one other clue about the winner. Neubauer says it appears the winner personally chose the six winning numbers — which might indicate the person plays the game regularly. She says the person has 365 days to claim the prize.
Neubauer is the lottery spokeswoman, and I know this because I read the other news link about the 113 million dollar winner.....click on related stories

I also thought stores got a lot more for selling the winning ticket..... like 100 grand. maybe they changed the rules.
When the MegaMillions had a jackpot of over $300M a few years back there were two winners, one in Illinois and one in Michigan, the retailer in Illinois got almost $100K and the retailer in Michigan got $2K because the amount that retailer gets for selling the winning ticket is set by each state and it's not the same even if the winners get the same amounts.

With the multi-states-Mega/Powerball each individual State sets it's own amount to reward the Retailer that sells the Grand Prize winning ticket. It gets confusing, but that is the case. Demonter

HI "FJA".......I always choose my own number series, and I stick w/it.....sometimes I add to them or mix them around, but I never choose the "quickies".....in Maryland, they're unreliable.
Great, another person who did not know they won, and did not bother to check their ticket until days later. More proof that having little or no faith reaps high rewards...

How did Neubauer go about determining that he picked his own numbers? What did he do? Look at the winning numbers and say "these don't look like quick pics to me."

if the can figure out if there is a winner, with in a few minutes after the draw, and they can figure out which store sold it a few minutes after that, they can figure out if it was a quick pic or a filled out card that won.....
