Davenport man wins thousands in Iowa Lottery jackpot

By Sharon Wren,

2 hours ago

It’s been some time since there was a lottery winner in the Quad Cities, but a Davenport man has just won an Iowa Lottery prize worth over $545,000.

Jered Sandry won the jackpot prize in the Iowa Lottery’s “Blank Check Progressive” InstaPlay game. He bought his winning ticket at Hy-Vee, 1823 E. Kimberly Road in Davenport. His win was the largest InstaPlay prize won since the product debuted in Iowa in 2016. He claimed his prize of $545,153 Thursday at the lottery’s main office in Clive.

The Blank Check Progressive jackpot starts at $50,000 and increases with each ticket sold statewide until it is won. The jackpot was last hit in January and had grown for more than six months before Sandry’s win.

InstaPlay combines features of scratch and lotto games. Tickets are printed on demand from lottery terminals instead of being pre-printed. They are sometimes called “scratchless” because there is no security coating to remove. InstaPlay games range in price from $1 to $30.

In its introduction of Argos, the organization emphasizes both his age and temperament, calling him “a senior guy saved from the shelter in TX” and adding that “if you are looking for an easy going guy, look no further.” The nonprofit says Argos is currently in a foster home in Texas and “doing well,” and the organization is asking the public to share his adoption post to help him find a permanent home in the Northeast.

The One Thing I Always Check Before Buying Cherries

Learn what you always want to look for when it comes to buying cherries from the store or farmers market. Whenever I am shopping for cherries the number one thing I look for is color. This will determine whether the cherries will be sweet and flavorful or sour and bland. I want to start by talking about the bags of dark cherries that are the most commonly found cherries in grocery stores nationwide. Cherries that are sold in the stores as "dark cherries" or "red cherries", should be dark in color. They should be closer to black in color than red. Often you won't find all the cherries in the bag to be exactly the same color, but the majority of them should be dark.

Yellowstone’s oldest wolf pack, Mollie’s Pack, leaves the park, raising fears for its future

Leslie Patten hiked into a remote reach of northwest Wyoming’s Sunlight Basin in December to post a trail camera where she’d earlier seen wolf tracks. At the time, a winter closure was fast approaching, and the Park County resident wouldn’t be able to retrieve the camera and review the footage for months. When she hiked back to fetch her equipment on May 1, the citizen scientist and author was greeted by one of nature’s most primal noises: the howls of wolves.

We all know about summer camps for kids. However, adult summer camps are becoming popular in Virginia, according to Axios. Kids go to summer camp because they are out of school.

The spicy saltine snack that disappears first at every party

There's a reason this bowl empties before anything else on the table. A box of plain saltines turns into the snack everyone keeps circling back to. Fire crackers use what's probably already sitting in your pantry. Saltines, oil, and a packet of ranch dressing come together into something with real crunch and just enough heat to keep you reaching for more.
