CLIVE, Iowa — A Central Iowa man is now $100,000 richer after cashing in his successful $10 "Snowfall" scratch game ticket, according to the Iowa Lottery.
22-year-old Matt Watznauer of Granger said he was on his way to go pheasant hunting with friends when they stopped for drinks and scratch tickets at Casey's, 404 Locust St. in Lohrville.
While riding in his friend's truck, he scratched the ticket, and was in disbelief.
Unfortunately, he didn't bag any pheasants this weekend, but after a visit to Iowa Lottery headquarters in Clive Monday, he has received his prize.
Watznauer, who works in lawn-care, says he plans to make a down payment on a home and save the rest of his winnings.
Five $100,000 top prizes remain in the Snowfall game, according to the lottery.
