A winning $1M Mega Millions ticket was sold in this Kentucky city. It hasn’t been claimed
Update: In a release just after 2:30 p.m. Aug. 1, Kentucky Lottery officials confirmed the prize had been claimed.
Though the big winner from Friday’s Mega Millions more than $1 billion drawing is from Illinois, Kentucky is home to a $1 million winner.
A Mega Millions ticket with a $1 million prize was sold at Q Zone 3 off Lexington Road in Richmond. The ticket matched five of the white ball numbers, but not the Mega Ball to win an additional prize in Friday’s drawing, lottery officials said.
Kentucky Lottery officials said in an Aug. 1 release the winning numbers for the July 29 drawing are 13-36-45-57-67 and Mega Ball 14.
The retailer that sold the million-dollar Kentucky ticket will receive a $10,000 prize.
As of 10 a.m. Monday, Kentucky Lottery officials said they had not yet heard from the winner.
