     As a participant in the Fifth Restated and Amended Casey's 
General Stores, Inc. Employees' Stock Ownership Plan and Trust 
(the "Employees' Plan"), Mr. Lamberti has the right to vote the 
shares of Common Stock allocated to his account by the Trustee 
under the Employees' Plan.  As of April 30, 1993 (the date of the 
most recent allocation of shares by the Trustee), Mr. Lamberti had 
545,494 shares of Common Stock allocated to his account in the 
Employees' Plan.  Such shares may be available for distribution to 
Mr. Lamberti upon his death, disability, retirement or termination 
of employment under the terms of the Employees' Plan.  Mr. 
Lamberti also serves as a member of the Advisory Committee of the 
Employees' Plan.

     Item 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

     Mr. Lamberti acquired the direct ownership of the shares of 
Common Stock and Debentures described in Item 3 hereof for 
investment purposes, or as a result of stock splits declared on 
the shares so acquired.  In addition, Mr. Lamberti holds such 
shares for the purpose of influencing the control of the Company.  
As disclosed previously, Mr. Lamberti acquired the right, along 
with all other participants in the Employees' Plan, to instruct 
the Trustee to vote and tender the shares of Common Stock 
allocated to his account in the Employees' Plan upon the 
conversion of the Employees' Plan to an ESOP on July 26, 1989.

     On December 18, 1987, the Company filed a Registration 
Statement on Form S-8 with the Securities and Exchange Commission 
covering the 2,281,700 shares of Common Stock then held by the 
Employees' Plan.  The Company filed Amendment No. 1 to the 
Registration Statement on Form S-8 on August 4, 1989 reflecting 
the conversion of the Employees' Plan to an employee stock 
ownership plan.  Pursuant to directions from the Advisory 
Committee, the Trustee of the Employees' Plan has from time to 
time made distributions of shares of Common Stock to participants 
entitled to receive the Employees' Plan benefits, and Mr. Lamberti 
expects additional such distributions to be made in the future.  
As a result of such distributions, and following the 2-for-1 stock 
split, Mr. Lamberti believes the Employees' Plan currently holds 
2,336,780 shares of Common Stock.  

     Mr. Lamberti's sale of 50,025 shares of Common Stock on April 
5, 1994 was prompted by his desire to diversify his investments 
and to acquire funds to repay certain personal indebtedness 
(unrelated to the Company).

     Other than as set forth herein, Mr. Lamberti currently has no 
other plan or proposal which relates to or would result in:

     (a)  The acquisition by any person of additional securities 
          of the Company, or the disposition of securities of the 
          Company;

     (b)  An extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a 
          merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the 
          Company;

     (c)  A sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the 
          Company;

     (d)  Any change in the present Board of Directors or 
          management of the Company, including any plans or 
          proposals to change the number or term of directors or 
          to fill any existing vacancies on the Board;

     (e)  Any material change in the present capitalization or 
          dividend policy of the Company;

     (f)  Any other material change in the Company's business or 
          corporate structure;

     (g)  Changes in the Company's charter, by-laws or instruments 
          corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede 
          the acquisition of control of the Company by any person;

     (h)  Causing a class of securities of the Company to be 
          delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease 
          to be authorized to be quoted on an inter-dealer 
          quotation system of a registered national securities 
          association;

     (i)  A class of equity securities of the Company becoming 
          eligible for termination of registration pursuant to 
          Section 12(g)(4) of the Act; or

     (j)  Any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

     Item 5.   INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

     The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially 
owned by Mr. Lamberti at the date hereof is 3,468,866 shares or 
approximately 13.38% of the 25,920,270 shares of Common Stock 
currently issued and outstanding.

     Mr. Lamberti has sole power to vote and to dispose of the 
2,923,372 shares of Common Stock owned directly by him.  As 
described above, Mr. Lamberti also has the right to instruct the 
Trustee to vote and tender the 545,494 shares of Common Stock 
allocated to his account under the Employees' Plan as of April 30, 
1993.

     Other than as set forth herein, Mr. Lamberti has not 
participated in or effected any transactions in the Company's 
Common Stock in the past sixty days.

     Item 6.   CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR 
RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

     Mr. Lamberti is a participant in a voting trust established 
December 20, 1982 that will become effective upon the date of 
death of himself or Ronald M. Lamb, Chief Operating Officer and a 
Director of the Company.  Under the voting trust agreement, the 
stockholders have agreed to deposit all of the shares of Common 
Stock of the Company beneficially owned by them ("Voting Shares") 
with the survivors of Messrs. Lamberti and Lamb and their 
successors as voting trustee.  Upon the effectiveness of the 
voting trust, the voting trustee generally will be entitled to 
vote the Voting Shares in their discretion in accordance with the 
determination of the voting trustee.  However, in order to approve 
certain extraordinary corporate actions, such as the merger of the 
Company into any other company, the voting trustee will be 
required to obtain the prior affirmative vote of the holders and 
voting trust certificates representing at least two-thirds of the 
Voting Shares.  
                                                  
     Unless earlier terminated by the vote of all of the voting 
trustees or of holders of voting trust certificates representing 
at least three-quarters of the Voting Shares, the agreement will 
terminate upon the expiration of three years after the effective 
date of the voting trust.

     Until September 19, 1987, Walter J. Carlson, a former officer 
and director of the Company, also was a participant in the voting 
trust described above.  On that date, and in conjunction with Mr. 
Carlson's retirement and resignation as a member of the Board of 
Directors and as Secretary and Treasurer of the Company, Messrs. 
Lamberti, Lamb and Carlson executed an Amendment to Casey's 
General Stores, Inc. Voting Trust Agreement, the purpose of which 
was to release Mr. Carlson and his shares of Common Stock from the 
terms and conditions of the Voting Trust Agreement.
