Check your pockets! Powerball ticket worth $1M was sold in Kentucky with these numbers


A grocery store in Northern Kentucky sold a Powerball lottery ticket worth $1 million Saturday, according to a Monday Kentucky Lottery press release.

The Kroger located at 3105 North Bend Road in Hebron sold the lucky ticket, which had the numbers 7, 38, 65, 66, 68. The ticket matched all five white ball numbers, but not the Powerball, according to the Kentucky Lottery, so it won the game’s second prize of $1 million. The Powerball drawn Saturday was numbered 21.

The Kentucky Lottery recommends winners sign the back of their ticket, keep it in a safe location and claim their prize within 180 days of the drawing.

Winners must claim their prize at the Kentucky Lottery office at 1011 W. Main St. in Louisville after calling 877-789-4532 to make an appointment.

Kentucky players have had several recent large Powerball wins, including a $1 million win Dec. 20 in Radcliff, along with another from the same drawing worth $2 million. In what the state called a rare occurrence, a Powerball ticket worth $1 million expired unclaimed this month, as well, the Kentucky Lottery recently confirmed.
