Iowa man wins $250K lottery prize with $20 scratch ticket

Stephen Snyder, a 46-year-old man from Marshalltown, Iowa, won the top prize of $250,000 on a "Lucky 7 Bonus" scratch ticket purchased at a Casey’s convenience store in Ankeny.

Snyder said he couldn't believe his eyes when he saw that he won and even went back inside the store to scan his ticket to confirm.

After claiming his prize, Snyder said he plans to have some fun with his winnings while still being responsible.

He might get a nicer car but will also set a limit and use the money as a safety net. The Iowa Lottery released a news release on April 24 announcing Snyder as the winner.
