GRAETTINGER — For the last 10 years, you could set your clock by watching Dennis Berry of Graettinger buy a Powerball lottery ticket. He and his fellow employees at the Corn Belt Power Cooperative Earl F. Wisdom generating station midway between Spencer and Everly all chipped in a buck each once a week.

Berry and 14 fellow employees won the $200,000 Powerball jackpot. Berry bought the winning ticket at the Graettinger Country Store.
