Jeffersonville woman claims $1 million prize on Kentucky Lottery scratch-off
(LEX 18) — A Kentucky woman is celebrating a $1 million lottery prize after a craving for ice cream resulted in the victory, officials with the Kentucky Lottery announced.
Officials detailed that the Jeffersonville woman, who wants to remain anonymous, went to grab a Dairy Queen Blizzard and decided to stop at Mt. Sterling Shell.
She purchased a $20 Kentucky Jackpot ticket from the store and began to scratch the ticket in her car, revealing a “win” symbol, which officials reported indicated a $1 million prize.
“I scratched it from left to right,” she said. “I thought, ‘well I won my $20 back.’ I thought it was $100 at first but then I saw the comma, so there was more. I noticed the smaller zeroes and knew it was a big one.”
A scan of the card by the clerk confirmed the big win, according to officials. She then went to the lottery headquarters where she chose to take the lump sum payment of $680,000, receiving a check for $489,600 after taxes.
“It happened for a reason,” her fiancé said. “It’s a blessing.”
The woman, and her fiancé, are excited to pay medical bills and become debt free, officials noted.
Mt. Sterling Shell will receive $6,000 for selling the winning ticket.
Beechwood senior wide receiver Tyler Fryman has committed to University of Kentucky football and baseball according to Hayes Fawcett of Rivals.
Fryman made the change to the Wildcats on June 26, just three days after announcing he was decommitting from Louisville Cardinals baseball. Fryman had been committed to Louisville since 2023.
The four-star recruit took an official visit to Kentucky on June 19. A week later, he’s flipped his school and added a new sport.
For Beechwood last season, Fryman caught 62 passes for 1,320 yards and 23 touchdowns. He was also the 9th Region Player of the Year in baseball and an indoor track state champion.
Fryman also had football offers from Cincinnati, Notre Dame and Ole Miss among others.
GRAYSON, Ky. (WSAZ) – New information has been released in the search for a missing woman at Grayson Lake.
According to game wardens with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources, Marly Kinney, 19, of Ashland, was last seen at Grayson Lake on Wednesday afternoon.
They say search efforts are focused on the water at this time and include Kentucky State Police aerial support, drones, boats, and K9 assistance.
Crews suspend search for missing teen for the night
The search is now into its third day, with officials saying on and off rain has hindered their search and that a group of 50 volunteers are walking the banks of the lake to help in the search.
Search and rescue boats have been seen at the lake as well.
Officials say there are still many questions, including if Kinney is still alive and where exactly she went missing.
They also say they’ve been using a variety of equipment, including sonar and thermal detectors, as well as helicopters and underwater drones.
WSAZ received a statement from Kinney’s family Friday afternoon:
“We are very appreciative of the absolute surplus of support from law enforcement, search and rescue, 1st responders, and all of the community and its volunteers that are here with us and for us searching for Marly. We do not even know how to express our absolute gratitude to you all. We continue to have faith she will be found and brought back to us. We know we have the very best people doing all they can to bring her home.”
Anyone with information is asked to call 911.
We are still working to get more information.
