Iowa man wins $100K lottery after father's death

An Iowa man, Thomas O'Hollearn, won a $100,000 Powerball lottery prize shortly after the death of his father. O'Hollearn believes the win is a blessing from his late dad. His father, Charles O'Hollearn, passed away on February 9 at the age of 85. O'Hollearn bought the winning ticket at a Hy-Vee grocery store in Des Moines. He said he thought, "Well, I'll get a couple easy-pick tickets," and was pleasantly surprised to find out he had won. He missed the chance at the bigger $417.9 million jackpot by just one number. After his win, O'Hollearn shared the news with his family, including his mother, brother, and son. They were all excited about the unexpected fortune. He plans to invest the money, calling it a "dream come true." Since O'Hollearn's win, the Iowa Lottery jackpot has grown and is now estimated at $461 million.
