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.

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.

As new rules and game features in the Powerball Lottery are being implemented this week, one state is already having upgrade issues. Idaho Lottery Officials have announced that a number of error tickets were printed after they performed the necessary upgrades on their own system:
“During the upgrade of Idaho’s Powerball game, operator error resulted in a small number of Powerball tickets being printed in error during a short period of time,” said Zeke Chemodurow, Idaho General Manager for Intralot, Inc., the Idaho Lottery’s lotto-systems provider. “The ticket information and the locations where they were printed at have been identified and that information has been provided to the lottery.”
Now the question is, did any other states make errors as a result of the upgrade?

Lottery officials are estimating Sunday’s Powerball Jackpot to be roughtly $90mil after there were no winners for Wednesday’s $80mil Powerball drawing. There is a chance this jackpot could go parabolic after Florida residents can legally buy powerball tickets in their own state starting next week. A perfect storm is brewing as the mega jackpot reaches a frenzy level, and the largest state thus far joins the Powerball in the same week.
