  DES MOINES, Iowa - Sept. 26, 2005 - On the same day he became a U.S. citizen, a West Des Moines man learned he had won a lottery jackpot.

   “That's a double-lucky win,” Moses Bittok said Monday as he claimed his $1.89 million Hot Lotto jackpot. “It's almost like you adopted a country and then they netted you $1.8 million. It doesn't happen anywhere - I guess only in America.”
 


    
On Friday, Bittok took the U.S. citizenship oath at the federal building in Des Moines, then he took some time to shop with his family and run errands. Before the day was done, they stopped at a gas station and checked his Hot Lotto ticket from Wednesday's drawing (Sept. 21). The print-out from the lottery's validations equipment stated that Bittok would need to claim his prize at lottery headquarters. Bittok then asked for a print-out of the winning numbers from Wednesday's drawing.

     “For some reason, I'm calm,” he said. His wife Leonida didn't have the same reaction.

     “I'm the one who screamed!” she said with a laugh.

      Bittok, a correctional officer at the Iowa Correctional Institute for Women in Mitchellville, said he doesn't know exactly what he will do with his winnings, but a college fund for the couple's 4-year-old daughter Mindy is top priority.

     “I know she's No. 1 - college, that's the biggest thing,” he said.

      Lee and Mindy accompanied Bittok to the lottery on Monday as he claimed his prize. He chose to receive his jackpot winnings in annuity payments over 25 years, an annual payment of $75,600 ($52,920 after withholding taxes).

      Bittok, 40, became the fifth Iowa Lottery player to win a Hot Lotto jackpot. Originally from Kenya, Bittok came to the United States to attend college in Minnesota, then moved to Iowa with his job.

     He bought his winning ticket was purchased at Hy-Vee at 1725 74th St. in West Des Moines, where he used to work part-time. The winning numbers in Wednesday's Hot Lotto drawing were: 7-19-24-31-34 and Hot Ball 3.
