A winning lottery ticket from Kentucky set a new record for the largest Powerball jackpot prize to come from the commonwealth, the Kentucky Lottery announced April 27.
At $167.3 million, the ticket sold at Clark’s Pump N Shop in Georgetown topped a Kentucky record from 2009 by nearly $40 million. The 2009 ticket was also sold at a Georgetown retailer.
The Powerball numbers were 1-12-14-18-69 and the Powerball was 2. The winner can opt to either receive the $167.3 million over multiple payments, or receive a lump sum payment of $77.3 million. If the winner opts for the annuity, they will receive one immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments that increase by 5% each year.
Two other tickets have won the jackpot this year, a March 29 ticket from California worth $526.5 million and a Jan. 18 ticket from Oregon worth $328.5 million.
Following the Powerball drawing April 26, the winning jackpot ticket from Kentucky is the first from the commonwealth since 2010.
“This is truly another historic moment for the Kentucky Lottery, our retailers and more importantly our players,” Kentucky Lottery President and CEO Mary Harville said in a statement. “We advise the winner to sign the back of their ticket and keep it in a secure location. 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 has at least 180 days to claim their prize from the day of the drawing. Winners must claim their prizes at the Kentucky Lottery’s headquarters in Louisville, 1011 W. Main St. The Kentucky Lottery headquarters can be reached at 502-751-0080.
