An Iowa City grandfather last week came up big in the Iowa Lottery’s “Lucky for Life” game.

Chuck Svatos, 92, won $25,000 a year for the rest of his life – a prize promoted as “lasting as long as you do."

Svatos instead chose the immediate lump sum payout option, leaving him with $273,000 after taxes.

According to The Courier in Waterloo, Iowa, Svatos said he had a foreshadowing of his win when he opened two fortune cookies at a casino in Rock Island, Ill.

The fortunes, which he carries in his billfold, predicted that he would come into some wealth and that he would take a trip.

Svatos says he now intends to travel with his winnings, possibly to Hawaii or Switzerland.
