This Central Kentucky city sold a ‘historic’ Powerball Jackpot winner
A winning lottery ticket for $163.7 million was sold to a Kentuckian earlier this week at a gas station in Georgetown.
The Kentucky Lottery said the Powerball Jackpot winning ticket was sold at Clark’s Pump N Shop in Georgetown.
Powerball numbers were 1-12-14-18-69 and the Powerball was 2. The winning ticket matched all five white balls and the Powerball from the drawing Saturday.
The name of the winner was not announced.
It is the largest Powerball jackpot sold in Kentucky, according to the lottery organization.
Previously the largest Powerball win was a $128.6 million jackpot sold in December 2009, also at a Georgetown retailer —– ProTravel Marathon.
In December 2010, the last Powerball jackpot won in Kentucky at a Simpsonville retailer.
Mary Harville, the CEO of the Kentucky Lottery, said the winning was a historic moment for retailers and the players.
“We advise the winner to sign the back of their ticket and keep it in a secure location,” Harville said in a news release. “For a prize of this magnitude, we also encourage the ticket holder to seek financial and legal advice before claiming the $167.3 million Powerball jackpot.”
The winning ticket holder can claim their prize within 180 days from the date of the drawing at lottery headquarters in Louisville.
