- The Kentucky Lottery reported a $225,000 Cash Ball 225 top-prize ticket sold at Thornton's on Westport Road in Louisville.
- A separate $50,000 Powerball ticket sold at a Kroger on Tates Creek Center Drive in Lexington matched four white balls plus the Powerball and has not been claimed publicly.
- An earlier $50,000 Powerball prize from Campbellsville was claimed by Melvin and Donna Bradley, who spotted a Facebook post about a local winner and then confirmed the ticket with the lottery app.
- Outlets reported different after-tax payouts for the Bradleys, citing either $36,250 or $36,520, and T-MART will receive a $500 bonus for selling the winning ticket.
- Lottery officials remind winners to sign tickets, store them safely, and claim prizes at headquarters within 180 days, noting that proceeds support scholarships after paying out more than $1.6 billion in 2025.
