Playing Powerball from KY? Someone holds $100K winning ticket from weekend drawing
If you bought a Powerball ticket in Elizabethtown recently, you might want to check your pockets.
According to the Kentucky Lottery, the Powerball drawing held Saturday night produced a winning ticket worth $100,000. The winning numbers for June 22 drawing are 4, 5, 15, 32, 62 and Powerball 21.
The winning ticket matched four white ball numbers and the Powerball for a $50,000 win. However, the win was doubled because of the Power Play added to the ticket for an extra buck.
According to a Kentucky Lottery news release Monday, the winning ticket was purchased at the S-Mart located at 607 Hodgenville Road in Elizabethtown.
That makes it the second time in a month an Elizabethtown retailer sold a winning Powerball ticket. The previous winning ticket, worth $50,000, sold May 27 at a Circle K on North Dixie Avenue. It has since been claimed by an anonymous man, according to the Kentucky Lottery.

No one won the Powerball jackpot during Saturday’s drawing, and the next drawing is set to take place at 11 p.m. Eastern Standard Time Monday. The Powerball jackpot sits at an estimated $84 million as of Monday.
Saturday’s Powerball isn’t the only recent unclaimed ticket in Kentucky. Last week, the lottery said someone won $25,000 a year for life through an online ticket purchase, but as of June 18 had not come forward to claim the prize.
