Paducah $150,000 Powerball winners claim prizes

The two winners of $150,000 Powerball tickets sold in Paducah last Saturday have claimed their prizes.

Jimmy Sharp of Paducah has worked as a captain of a riverboat for nearly 50 years.

Sharp plans to put his winnings in the bank and help his family.  He received $108,000 after taxes when he claimed his check at Kentucky Lottery headquarters Wednesday.

A Paducah woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, also came to Kentucky Lottery headquarters Wednesday to claim her prize.

She plans to use her $108,000 check to pay off debt and invest some of the winnings.

Quick Stop in Paducah, where both winning tickets were sold, will receive $3,000 for selling both tickets.
