A woman in Bettendorf is very happy after she scratched a winning ticket with the Iowa Lottery. Last week, the Iowa Lottery announced that Vanessa Lam of Bettendorf won the third top prize in the Iowa Lottery's "X The Money" scratch game. The top prize is worth $50,000.

Lam bought her winning ticket at EZ Stop, 2923 Brady St. in Davenport. She claimed her prize Tuesday at the lottery's Cedar Rapids regional office.

The Iowa Lottery says that X The Money is a $5 scratch game that features eight top prizes of $50,000 and overall odds of 1 in 3.27. Congrats to Vanessa on being the 5th person from the Quad Cities to win this month!

This month, there have been four major winners in the Quad Cities. Earlier this month, Davenport had not one but two lottery winners. Christine Sanders won $50,000 (she got her ticket at Express Lane Gas & Food Mart on North Harrison) and Mason Brower won $30,000 (he got his ticket at W Mart on East Locust).

On June 14th, we told you about a Rryan Claussen of Eldridge who won $100,000 on a scratch-off ticket when he was on a road trip with his dad. He bought that winning ticket at Casey's (1800 S. B Ave.) in Nevada.

The next day, Jean Miller from Davenport won $50,000 from the lottery's "Power Shot" scratch game. She got the winning ticket at Kwik Star at 13888 118th Ave.
