**Lexington, KY –** A lucky Kentucky resident is celebrating a life-changing win after claiming a $167 million Powerball jackpot on Saturday, April 26th, 2025. The winning ticket matched all six numbers: 1, 12, 14, 18, 69, and the Powerball 2. The winner can choose between a lump-sum cash payment of approximately $77.3 million or an annuity paid out over 30 years.

The location of the winning ticket purchase remains undisclosed. This marks the 19th time a Powerball jackpot has been won in Kentucky. The previous Powerball jackpot was won on March 29th in California, totaling $526.5 million.

With this win, the Powerball jackpot resets to $20 million for Monday’s drawing. Lottery officials urge players to purchase tickets before state deadlines, which vary. The game costs $2 per ticket, with an optional $1 Power Play add-on that can multiply non-jackpot prizes.

The Powerball drawing is held three times a week (Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday) and is broadcast live online. While the odds of winning the jackpot are exceptionally low (292,201,338 to 1), the excitement surrounding the lottery continues to draw millions of players nationwide.
