Washington woman wins $25k from lottery

A Washington woman is $25,000 richer. Faye Scott won the Iowa Lottery's "Wild Bingo" instant scratch game. She bought the ticket at the Corner Stop on east Madison Street in Washington. A news release from the Iowa Lottery says Scott claimed her prize this week in Cedar Rapids. She's not the first Washington resident to get lucky with the lottery. In 1992, then Mayor Ed Brown split a $10.4 million Powerball prize with a woman from Missouri.
