News : Vinton woman wins $100,000 from Iowa Lottery

A Benton County woman may be getting a newer pickup truck after claiming a $100,000 prize from an Iowa Lottery scratch game.

Barbara Osterkamp of Vinton won her big prize on a “Vegas Game Book” scratch ticket she bought Thursday at Casey’s, 4397 N. Center Point Road in Center Point. She claimed the seventh of eight top prizes of $100,000 available in the game.

The 66-year-old said the Vegas Game Book is her favorite lottery game.

“It takes a little bit of time to play it,” Osterkamp told lottery employees Friday as she claimed her prize at the lottery’s regional office in Cedar Rapids. “I was happy if I won $20 or so off (those tickets).”

Osterkamp, who works at an assisted living retirement home in Vinton, said she’s already got a plan for her winnings.

“I need a different truck,” she said.
