Lottery director's calls spur visions of winning millions
DES MOINES Iowa Lottery director Ed Stanek for nearly 30 years has signed prize notices and made calls to Iowans who gasp at the news of winnings. As head of the Iowa Lottery he oversees a business that has grown to the 25th largest in the state with 130 million in sales and 40 million in profits in the year ending June 30. Stanek, a physicist with a PhD from Iowa State University, shifted from environmental work and federal grants to run the lottery, viewing the role as a logical move into private business. His career spans environmental programs and state energy initiatives starting in 1981.
