LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18)– A ticket sold in Lexington for last night’s Powerball drawing matched all five white ball winning numbers but not the Powerball, winning the game’s second prize of $1 million.

The winning Powerball number from Wednesday night’s drawing are: 3 – 57 – 64 – 68 – 69, with a Powerball of 15.

The ticket was sold at:

MINIT MART #664 LEESTOWN RD
109 TOWNE CENTER DR
LEXINGTON, KY 40511

There was also a $150,000 winning ticket from last night’s Powerball drawing sold in Owensboro. The name of that retailer will be released later today following the same security check.

This is the third millionaire created in Kentucky in the past 10 days. On October 8, Ashley Eggen of Elizabethtown won a $1 million prize in the Mega Millions drawing. And just yesterday, Ronnie Parker of Dawson Springs cashed a $1 million ticket from Tuesday night’s Mega Millions drawing. A release about that win is attached.

Powerball now rolls to an estimated $430 million for Saturday’s drawing, while the Mega Millions jackpot for tomorrow night has swelled to $900 million. This will be the second largest lottery jackpot ever offered in US history.
