Two of those tickets were purchased in Council Bluffs and Manson — and are each worth $100,000. The other two were purchased in Polk City and Des Moines and are worth $50,000.

The Iowa Lottery reports players here bought more than two-point-seven million dollars in Powerball tickets,  including nearly two million dollars worth on the day of the drawing Wednesday.
