For Lucky for Life, Lotto America, Mega Millions, and Powerball, any tickets bought up to April 22, 2023, drawing will still have a 365-day deadline for prize claims. If you purchase your ticket for April 23, 2023, or later, you will have a claiming period of 180 days. For Pick 3 and Pick 4, the same 90-day period is preserved.

They are the support for the state’s veterans and their families through the Iowa Veterans Trust Fund; support for the surviving families of Iowa firefighters and peace officers who perished in the line of duty; backing for the Vision Iowa Program developing tourism and community attractions; contributions to the state General Fund as a help for a variety of other projects.
