WARREN COUNTY MAN WINS
$30,000 LOTTERY PRIZE
A Warren County man said he was in disbelief after
finding out he won a $30,000 lottery prize on a "Cross-
word" instant-scratch ticket.
"Took a couple of minutes and I started looking this
thing over after I scratched it off and I thought this just
doesn't look right," said Mike Miller of Carlisle. "I just
was really kind of in shock and I thought this just can't
be, just couldn't be."
Miller, 45, purchased his winning ticket at Hy-Vee
Gas, 912 Jefferson Way, in Indianola. He said he stopped
at a Casey's on his way home to confirm his winning
ticket.
"The clerk about went in shock," he said. "She was
like, 'Oh my gosh; you've got to take this, I can't cash
thi s thing out here.'"
Miller, who works for a truck rental company, daimed
his prize Monday at the lottery's headquarters in Des
Moines. He claimed the 63rd of 97 top prizes of $30,000
available in the Iowa Lottery's Crossword scratch game.
Miller and his wife, Kelley, said they plan to pay off
some bills and save the rest of their winnings.
"It was sure fantastic to win this kind of money and
it will sure help us go a long ways with that," Miller
said.
Crossword is a $3 scratch game. PIayers win a prize
by uncovering at least three complete words in the
ticket's puzzle. If a player uncovers 10 words, he/she
wins $30,000. The overall odds of winning a prize in
the game are 1 in 3.82.
Thirty-four top prizes of $30,000 are still up for grabs
in Crossword, as well as 50 prizes of $3,000 and thou-
sands more prizes of $300 and $100.
Since the lottery's start in 1985, its players have won
more than $3.1 billion in prizes while the lottery has
raised more than $1.4 billion for the state programs that
benefit all Iowans.
Today, lottery proceeds in Iowa have three main pur-
poses: They provide support for veterans, help for a
variety of significant projects through the state General
Fund and backing for the Vision Iowa program, which
was implemented to create tourism destinations and
community attractions in the state and build and repair
schools.

WARREN COUNTY EDC BOARD
COMMITS $100,000 TO NEW
REVOLVING LOAN FUND
The Board of Directors for the Warren County Eco-
nomic Development Corporation (WCEDC) voted re-
cently to set aside $100,000 to create the area's first
countywide revolving loan fund (RLF). The funding
would assist startup and expansion plans of small-to-
medium-sized businesses in Warren County.
The RLF's chief aim will be to provide gap support
in partnership with financing provided by Warren
County-based private lenders. The organization hopes
to enhance the level of deal flow for small business
growth on the southern end of the Des Moines Metro-
politan region.
"We are very excited that after many decades of dis-
cussion, a revolving loan fund will become a reality,"
said Jason White, WCED Executive Director. "Warren
County is Iowa's 12th largest county, but ranks 26th
among Iowa's 99 counties in total employment. In or-
der to reach the fulfillment of the ambitious
GroWARRENOw iitiative (WCEDC's five-year strate-
gic plan), viable sources of small business capital must
exist. Capitalizing good business projects results in job
creation."
Over the next few months, WCEDC plans to seek
ways to grow the RLF's size. One option is to apply to
the USDA Rural Development for a match. A successful
USDA award could as much as double the size of the
RLF. Loan applications will not be available until the
WCEDC completes the USDA process, which it plans
to do by the end of 2013.
Additionally, at the recent board meeting, WCEDC
elected officers for the new fiscal year, beginning July 1.
Doug Shull will continue as President; Ruth Randleman,
Vice-President; Denis Frischmeyer, Treasurer; Steve
Bruere, Secretary and, Steve Wilson, County Supervi-
sor. WCEDC's entire board roster can be found at
www.wcedc.corn.
The mission of WCEDC is to create and retain jobs
while enhancing the quality of life in Warren County,
accomplished foremost by strengthening and support-
ing the business dimate in the area.
The vision of the Warren County Economic Devel-
opment Corporation is to be the economic development
organization located in the Greater Des Moines, Iowa
metropolitan region that demonstrates leadership, col-
laboration and ingenuity to enhance the business cli-
mate, business andemployment base, while promoting
the unique and identifiable assets of the greater Warren
County area, with the purpose of creating wealth and
being the model of a results-drive n organization.
