Check your tickets! Unclaimed $1 million Powerball ticket to expire in Kentucky
Better check any old lottery tickets you have lying around because you could be a millionaire!
The Kentucky Lottery is looking for the owner of an unclaimed million-dollar Powerball ticket that will soon expire in the hopes that someone will come forward and claim the prize, per a press release. The winning ticket was sold on July 19, 2023, at the Pilot Travel Center No. 50, 489 Pendleton Road, in Pendleton, Kentucky, in Henry County.
The lottery jackpot was an estimated $1 billion. The owner of the unclaimed ticket matched the first five white balls – 7, 10, 11, 13, and 24 – but failed to match the Powerball – 24 – earning them the secondary prize of $1 million.
“It’s rare that someone holding a $1 million Powerball ticket fails to cash it in,” Kentucky Lottery President Mary Harville said in the release. “The ticket is expiring in less than two weeks; however, the lottery is not giving up hope that we will find the owner and award them their prize.”
The unclaimed ticket officially expires on Monday, Jan. 15, Martin Luther King Jr. Day. But, due to the federal holiday, the owner must bring the winning ticket to the Kentucky Lottery Corporate office, located at 1011 W. Main St. in Louisville, before 5 p.m. on Jan. 12.
If the prize is not claimed, the lottery will return the money to Kentucky’s unclaimed prize fund, which supports the Kentucky Educational Excellence Scholarship.
A wide receiver from Belle Glade, Florida, Gilmore totaled 28 receptions for 313 yards and one touchdown for the Wildcats during the 2025 season. The 6-foot-1 sophomore has had a very interesting offseason as he entered the portal, flipped a commitment, and is now back in Lexington.
After the 2025 season, Gilmore committed to Louisville when he entered the transfer portal, then flipped his commitment to Baylor, and ultimately signed with the Bears. To end Gilmore’s portal saga, he’s now back in a familiar place with the Wildcats.
When the 2026 season begins, Gilmore will have two years of eligibility remaining.
Gilmore had a solid sophomore campaign with the Wildcats, appearing in all 12 games. His best game of the season came in the late-season loss against Vanderbilt. He tallied six catches for 55 yards in the game.
With Kentucky losing most of its wide receiver production from last season, this is a significant pickup, and it won’t be surprising if Gilmore is back in the starting lineup this fall.
As for the Aggies, the only name on the report is Mackenzie Mgbako, a one-time Kentucky target who remains out for the season after undergoing foot surgery. Texas A&M head coach Bucky McMilan said today that Mgbako will return next season, which would be a big boost for the Aggies before the offseason begins.
Kentucky vs. Texas A&M Injury Report
COVINGTON, Ky. (WKRC) – The Licking River Bridge was demolished Monday morning in a controlled blast, clearing the way for a replacement structure.
Authorities established a 1,000-foot safety perimeter, closed nearby roads and asked residents to shelter in place before the demolition. The bridge collapsed within seconds of the blast.
“Today we say goodbye to a bridge that has served Kentuckians for nearly a century and we make room for something new. A signature bridge that is safer, stronger and we make room for something new,” Gov. Andy Beshear said. “This region, like the rest of the commonwealth, is evolving, it is booming, it’s economy growing every day. What we’re doing together is building our new Kentucky home.”
The Licking River Bridge is now history after crews brought it down with a controlled demolition Monday morning. (WKRC)

Crews will begin construction on the new bridge after debris removal is complete. The replacement bridge is expected to open in the summer of 2028.
