Floyd County Man Wins $14K with Iowa Lottery Scratcher

A Floyd County man has won an Iowa Lottery prize of more than $14,000.

Thomas Chambers of Rockford won the Jumbo Bucks Progressive InstaPlay jackpot prize after he purchased his winning ticket at Casey’s in Nora Springs. Chambers claimed his prize December 8th at the lottery’s Mason City regional office.

The Jumbo Bucks Progressive jackpot starts at $5,000 and increases with every ticket sold statewide until it is won, which in Chambers’ case was $14,030.
