Iowa Lottery Blunders: Wrong Winning Numbers Announced Due to Human Error
The Iowa Lottery announced the wrong winning numbers for Monday's Powerball drawing due to a human reporting error. The incorrect results were available for several hours before being noticed and disabled. The correct numbers were later entered, and prizes were paid accordingly. The mistake only affected the reporting of the official results for Monday's drawing, and all other lottery tickets could be purchased, checked, and cashed as usual.
