Two Eastern Iowa Women Win Over $50,000 With The Iowa Lottery

With St. Patrick's Day coming up, finding a leprechaun with a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow or just some luck of the Irish should be a little easier. One woman in eastern Iowa found her some luck close to St. Patrick's Day as she is quite a bit richer after claiming her prize from Iowa Lottery.

A woman in Clinton, Iowa has a few more bucks to buy a round of Irish Car Bombs this St. Patrick's Day. She claimed her winnings last week and the bank account isn't going to be upset when it sees this check come in.
