A Kentucky Lottery Cash Ball ticket worth $225,000 was sold this week at a liquor store in Shively, the Kentucky Lottery said in a report carried by WLKY on July 17, 2026.

The ticket, identified as a Cash Ball 225, has a prize value of $225,000. Kentucky Lottery officials said the winning ticket was purchased at the Shively store, located in the Louisville-area city.

The Kentucky Lottery said the prize is associated with the Cash Ball 225 game. Cash Ball games are part of Kentucky’s statewide lottery offerings, with winners determined through the game’s number-drawing process.

WLKY reported that the ticket was sold at the Shively liquor store where the winning customer purchased the ticket earlier this week. Lottery sales through retail locations like liquor stores are a key part of how Kentucky Lottery games are distributed.

Kentucky Lottery prizes generally require the claimant to match the winning ticket details and follow the agency’s claim process once the winner has confirmed eligibility. Lottery officials did not indicate that the purchaser’s identity had been released as of the WLKY report.

The announcement highlights the continued presence of high-dollar prizes within Kentucky communities through retail ticket sales, with the Shively store now associated with a six-figure Cash Ball win for this game cycle.

Why It Matters

  • The sale reinforces how statewide lottery games with large prize values continue to impact local retail businesses and residents across Kentucky.
  • The winner will need to take timely action to claim the prize through the Kentucky Lottery’s established process, typically requiring the physical winning ticket.
  • Retail-lottery partnerships are part of Kentucky’s lottery distribution system, and large prizes can affect local customer activity at the involved store.
  • High-dollar lottery results can lead to heightened public attention and reminders about how lottery claims must be handled through proper channels.
