Powerball Jackpot Reaches $216 Million and Winning Tickets Sold in Kentucky

Why this matters: The Powerball's rising jackpot offers participants a chance at a substantial financial gain, while regional wins boost local economies and generate community excitement. Knowing the winning numbers and where tickets are sold encourages players to check their tickets and participate responsibly.

The Powerball continues to be one of the most popular lottery games in the United States, with drawings held on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday nights. The recent drawing on July 9 saw the jackpot climb to $216 million after no one matched all six numbers. However, several smaller prizes were won, including two notable wins in Kentucky.

A $1 million winning ticket was sold at a Kroger located at 1670 Starlite Dr., Owensboro, Ky. 42301, while a $50,000 winning ticket was sold at a Cox’s Smokers Outlet at 9200 Westport Road, Louisville, Ky. 40242. The winning numbers for Monday night’s drawing were 33, 35, 58, 61, and 69, with a Powerball of 25. The million-dollar ticket matched five white ball numbers, and the $50,000 ticket matched four white ball numbers plus the Powerball.

To play Powerball, participants must purchase a $2 ticket and select five white ball numbers (1-69) and one red Powerball number (1-26). Adding a “Power Play” for an additional $1 can multiply non-jackpot winnings. Tickets can be bought at gas stations, convenience stores, and online via services like Jackpocket in select states.
