Check your numbers! Lexington Minit Mart sells $1 million Powerball ticket.

For the third time in the last 10 days, the Kentucky Lottery generated a $1 million winner; this time it’s in Lexington.

A ticket sold for Wednesday night’s Powerball drawing matched all five white ball winning numbers but not the Powerball, winning the game’s second prize of $1 million. The winning Powerball numbers from Tuesday are 3-57-64-68-69, with a Powerball of 15.

The winning ticket was sold at the Shell Minit Mart in Towne Center off Leestown Road, according to the Kentucky Lottery. The name of the winner has not been revealed.

On Oct. 8, Ashley Eggen of Elizabethtown won the $1 million prize in the Mega Millions drawing. Ronnie Parker of Dawson Springs won $1 million from Tuesday night’s Mega Millions drawing.

Parker said he was tickled to death after winning and doesn’t have any immediate plans for his winnings.

“I’m happy because I know I’ve got it,” he said.

The country has caught Mega Millions fever, and the jackpot for Friday night’s drawing has grown to more than $900 million. The jackpot will be the second-largest ever in U.S. lottery history.

The odds to win the Mega Millions is one in 302.5 million.
