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.
On Tuesday, head coach Mark Pope revealed that there will likely be no summer trip for the 2026-27 Wildcats.
“We’re probably a lean towards not going right now,” Pope told Darrell Bird of Cats Pause.
The NCAA recently adopted a proposal that will allow schools to take summer tours every year after the rules previously limited schools to one trip every four years. Even if it ended up being somewhere close by, this would’ve been a great experience for the Cats to get some exhibition games in, especially with the roster overhaul they’re going through.
Oh well. The good news is UK will still have plenty of summer practices to develop and build chemistry.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) — Kentucky Horse Park is honoring the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to their country this Memorial Day, while also reflecting on the legacy of one of the military’s most remarkable heroes — a horse.
Sergeant Reckless, a mare who served with the U.S. Marines during the Korean War, carried ammunition into battle and brought wounded soldiers to safety, becoming a trusted and beloved companion to those who served alongside her, Kentucky Horse Park described.
In recognition of her extraordinary courage, Sgt. Reckless was promoted to Staff Sergeant and awarded two Purple Hearts, along with numerous other military honors.
“Today, we remember and honor every hero,” a post from the park read.
