$150,000 Powerball ticket sold in Louisville for Monday drawing, WLKY reports
Lottery officials say a winning ticket matching the prize level was sold in Louisville for the Monday Powerball drawing. Players who bought tickets that day are urged to verify numbers promptly.
A Powerball ticket sold in Louisville is worth $150,000 for the Monday drawing, WLKY reported Tuesday. The report said the ticket matched the prize requirements for the $150,000 level, and lottery players who purchased a ticket for Monday may be holding the winning entry.
According to WLKY, the winning ticket was purchased at a Kroger store in Kentucky. The report did not specify which Kroger location in Louisville was the seller.
Powerball prizes are determined by matching the five white-ball numbers and, in many cases, the red Powerball number, depending on the prize tier. For prize tiers like the one reported here, a ticket may qualify without matching all required numbers for the top jackpot. Lottery retailers typically do not verify winning tickets at the time of sale, so players need to check their numbers against official results.
The Kentucky Lottery advises that winners should sign the back of the ticket before claiming, and it is generally recommended that winners keep the original ticket in a safe place until they submit a claim. Winners can also protect themselves by not sharing images of the ticket publicly and by verifying the winning status through official lottery channels before seeking payment.
WLKY’s report comes as lottery retailers across the state continue to sell tickets for upcoming drawings. Players who bought tickets for Monday’s drawing are the most likely to be affected by this announcement, since the reported prize is tied to that specific drawing date.
Lottery officials typically publish winning information only after results are finalized and verified, and prize amounts are paid according to the state’s lottery rules and claim procedures. Depending on the amount and the claiming method, winners may need to visit a state lottery office or follow specific steps for submitting paperwork.
For players who believe they may hold the winning ticket, the immediate next step is to confirm the Monday drawing numbers and the ticket’s matching status using official lottery results, then proceed through the claim process outlined by Kentucky Lottery guidance.
