Another $1 Million 2nd Prize Lottery Winner in KY

Another Kentuckian didn't win the big prize in a lottery drawing, but did win some big money.

A ticket sold in Lexington 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 number from last night’s drawing are 3 – 57 – 64 – 68 – 69, with a Powerball of 15.

According to a press release, Lottery staff are headed to Lexington to do some security checks at the store that sold the winning ticket, and then the store's name will be released.

There was also a $150,000 winning ticket from Wednesday's Powerball drawing sold in Owensboro. The name of that retailer will be also released after security checks.

This is the third millionaire created in Kentucky in the past 10 days. On October 8, Ashley Eggen of Elizabethtown won a $1 million prize in the Mega Millions drawing. On Wednesday, Ronnie Parker of Dawson Springs cashed a $1 million ticket from Tuesday night’s Mega Millions drawing. 

Powerball now rolls to an estimated $430 million for Saturday’s drawing, while the Mega Millions jackpot for Friday night has swelled to $900 million. This will be the second largest lottery jackpot ever offered in US history.
