BONDURANT (AP) — A winning $202 million Powerball ticket was purchased at a convenience store in the suburban Des Moines city of Bondurant, but nobody had claimed it by midday Thursday.

Iowa lottery officials encourage people to consult with an attorney or financial planner before stepping forward, so some delay in naming a winner isn’t surprising.

“This amount, $200 million, is a life-changing amount of money, and we want to make sure the winner is prepared for what will come,” Iowa Lottery spokeswoman Mary Neubauer said. “In general, winners have done just that in Iowa. They usually take their time to get their ducks in a row. It’s usually a few weeks or so.”
