Not even two full days after Saturday night’s Powerball drawing produced one winner of a $167.3 million jackpot in Kentucky, the lucky ticket holder has come forward to claim the prize.
The Kentucky winner of the $167.3 million jackpot drawn on Saturday, April 26 wasted no time to hurry on over to Kentucky Lottery headquarters in Louisville, where they were officially announced as the rightful jackpot claimant today.
It’s been well over a decade since the last Powerball jackpot win in Kentucky, and the winner to end the cold spell in the Bluegrass State is Linda Grizzle, who is splitting the prize with her son, Shannon Farthing.
“It’s going to be a good Mother’s Day,” Grizzle told the Kentucky Lottery. “This is going to pay off my debt.”
