Someone who bought a Powerball ticket in Clinton won a $500,000 prize in Wednesdays drawing the second prize of that size to hit in Iowa this month.

The latest winning ticket for $500,000 was purchased at the Kwik Star store at 911 S. 14th St. in Clinton. The ticket came within one number of having at least a share of Wednesdays $87.3 million jackpot.

On July 8, Tu Kha Maung, 29, of Waterloo, won a $500,000 prize by purchasing the same type of play in the Powerball drawing.

Wednesdays winning numbers were: 27-47-61-62-69 and Powerball 4. No one matched all six numbers to win the jackpot, so the big prize will be an estimated $97 million annuity ($78.3 million cash option) for Saturdays drawing.
