The hunt for the largest Powerball Jackpot winner in Kentucky’s history is over. KY Lottery officials said that late in the week an attorney hired by the winner had contacted them to schedule the cash handoff. The winners name was not released.

The ticket is yet to be validated. Lottery officials said the ticket was sold at ProTravel Marathon in Georgetown, consistent with the anonymous winner’s story.

Prior to this jackpot, the largest Powerball Jackpot ever won in Kentucky was $89.3 million, almost 15 years ago.

Sunday’s multi-state Powerball drawing will be worth an estimated $170 million after no one hit the jackpot during Wednesday’s drawing. This is the second mega jackpot in as many months. It doesn’t take much to spark a steamroller of momentum during hard financial times and recession.

The winning numbers from Saturday’s Drawing are: 14-15-26-32-36, with Powerball number 12.

The next drawing will take place on Wednesday Night.
