EASTERN IOWA WOMAN WINS THE POWERBALL® PATROL CAR
August 31, 2009
DES MOINES, Iowa – An eastern Iowa woman is driving in style after winning this summer's Powerball Patrol Car.
Susan Dryden of Clarence was selected as the grand prize winner in the Iowa Lottery's "Powerball® Patrol Car" promotion that ran July 2-Aug. 24.
"I could do a jig on a jelly doughnut I'm so excited," Dryden said Monday as she was presented with the keys to the shiny red car at lottery headquarters in Des Moines. "Lucky me! I'm happy!"
Residents across Iowa may have seen the car. The lottery's Powerball Patrol team traveled around in it this summer, promoting the "Keep Your Ticket Handy" summer travel initiative with offers for savings at Iowa attractions for those who had Powerball tickets with them.
"Our Powerball Patrol car always turned people's heads, so we thought giving it away would make for an exciting contest for our players," said Lottery CEO Terry Rich.
Players entered the promotion by visiting the lottery's Web site at www.ialottery.com and keying in the serial number from nonwinning $10 Powerball/Power Play tickets that had been purchased between July 28 and Aug. 22.
Dryden, who works at University Hospitals, said that she at first wasn't sure she believed the news she heard from the lottery, but she became convinced once she was given the keys to the car. She said the good news is spreading quickly in her Cedar County community.
"Everybody is saying, 'You have to do a drive-by so we can wave,'" she said.
Dryden happily reported that she was a double winner Monday. On her way to Des Moines, she called in to the radio station she was listening to and won two tickets to see a movie.
"So, I got two wins," she said.
Dryden said the license plates for her car will read: Lucki 1.
"That's my dream and that's what I'm feeling right now: I'm the lucky one," she said. "Hopefully I'll be back to claim my multi-millions that I plan to win!"
