According to a release from the Iowa Lottery, Cody Langel, of Alton, Iowa, won the $20,000 lottery prize Friday. He purchased his winning ticket at the Daily Stop gas station in Le Mars.

Word Search is a $20 game that features 25 top prizes of $100,000, 75 prizes of $20,000 and overall odds of 1 in 3.05.
