We all dream of one day maybe hitting the jackpot at least once in our lives.

2021 was a big year for Iowa lottery winners when one Waterloo woman won $100,000. Not even a full week later, yet another woman in Waterloo took home the big cash prize of $30,000.

By the end of April, a third Waterloo woman had claimed a $20,000 payout. In total, $150,000 went directly into the pockets of several Cedar Valley residents. Another Waterloo man sweetened up the pot by winning another $100,000 in April of 2021.

If you thought those wins were impressive then you haven't seen anything yet!

Not too shabby, right?

Baxter won a $100,000 Powerball prize back in January of 2020. She used the prize to make some big payments on her mortgage. With this second win, she plans to pay off one of her vehicles AND the rest of her mortgage.
