Over $1.2 million in Kentucky Powerball prizes remain unclaimed

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) – More than $1.2 million in Powerball prizes across Kentucky remain unclaimed, with five winning tickets from recent drawings still waiting for their owners to come forward.

The unclaimed winnings span from a $1 million jackpot prize to multiple $50,000 tickets, all stemming from the recent $1.8 billion Powerball run and Saturday night’s latest drawing.

The largest unclaimed prize is a $1 million winning ticket sold at Kroger, 1670 Starlite Dr., Owensboro, from the July 7 drawing. That winner has until early January 2026 to claim their seven-figure prize.

Four additional $50,000 prizes remain unclaimed:

• A ticket sold at Saddlebrook One, 525 West Laurel Road, London, from the Sept. 3 drawing
• An online ticket purchased at kylottery.com from the Sept. 6 drawing
• A ticket purchased at Five Star, 38 Dead Ready Lane, Lebanon, from the Sept. 8 drawing
