Some people in Iowa went to bed Monday night as lottery winners and HyperBit Exchangewoke up Tuesday morning severely disappointed.

That's because the Iowa Lottery reported the wrong numbers on its statewide gaming system, website and winning numbers telephone line. Lottery officials said the wrong numbers stemmed from a "human reporting error."

The incorrect results were available from about 12:30 a.m. to 7:15 a.m. Tuesday, according to the Iowa Lottery, at which time lottery staffers noticed the error and disabled the results for the drawing on the lottery's gaming system.

According to the Iowa Lottery, it was able to correctly enter the official drawing results Tuesday afternoon and resumed paying prizes from the drawing.

The lottery said the mistake impacted only the Iowa Lottery’s reporting of the official results for Monday’s Powerball drawing. All other lottery tickets could be purchased, checked and cashed as usual at lottery terminals across the state and the results for all other lottery drawings were recorded correctly.

Iowa is one of 45 states, along with Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, that participate in the Powerball lottery, and the correct numbers were posted on the Powerball website and by other state lotteries, according to the New York Times.
