Kentucky Lottery says two $50,000 Powerball winnings from March remain unclaimed

The Kentucky Lottery is reminding players to check their numbers after it reported that two winning Powerball tickets from March have not yet been claimed.

Kentucky Lottery officials said two winning Powerball tickets sold in the state, each worth $50,000, have not been claimed and are still eligible to be redeemed. The announcement was made in a report published August 20 by WKYT, citing the Kentucky Lottery.

According to the report, the unclaimed tickets are part of March Powerball results. The Kentucky Lottery said players should verify whether they hold tickets matching the winning numbers from that drawing, noting that winnings can only be collected when a ticket is presented for verification.

For players who believe they may have the winning ticket, the Kentucky Lottery urged them to confirm their ticket information as soon as possible. Unclaimed winnings can remain outstanding for some time, but players are required to follow the lottery’s redemption process and time limits for prize claims, the report said.

The notice is especially relevant for households and family members who may have bought tickets earlier in the year and placed them in wallets or desk drawers. Lottery winnings can be difficult to track without checking the official lottery listing for the specific drawing date and validating the ticket before the claim window closes.

The report did not identify the counties or retailers where the two tickets were sold, and it did not provide additional details such as the exact winning numbers. Players who have retained their March tickets are therefore directed to rely on the Kentucky Lottery’s official claims and prize-checking information rather than memory or secondary records.

Lottery prize claims generally require the claimant to present the original ticket for validation. If the ticket is lost or damaged, the Kentucky Lottery’s redemption rules apply, the report indicated, which is why officials emphasized checking and claiming promptly.

With the August notice in place, the next step for any player holding a potentially matching ticket is to follow the Kentucky Lottery’s instructions for prize redemption and to meet any applicable deadlines for unclaimed prizes from March drawings.

Why It Matters

  • Potential winners have limited time to claim lottery prizes, so the August reminder affects claimability for March tickets.
  • Unclaimed winnings represent money that remains unclaimed at the state level until a verified ticket is redeemed.
  • Lottery players and families who bought tickets earlier may need to locate and verify tickets before deadlines pass.
  • The claim process requires original-ticket verification, raising the practical importance of timely action and careful recordkeeping.
