A Kentucky Lottery player scored a big win over the weekend, taking home $200,000 from Saturday’s Powerball drawing thanks to an optional add-on that multiplied the prize.
Lottery officials said the winning ticket was sold at Estepp’s Friendly Shell, located at 4107 Lexington Road in Paris, Kentucky. The ticket matched four white balls and the Powerball, a combination that typically pays $50,000. However, the player added the Power Play option for an additional $1.
With Saturday’s Power Play multiplier set at four times, the prize increased from $50,000 to $200,000, officials said.
The Kentucky Lottery advises the winner to sign the back of the ticket and store it in a safe place. The prize must be claimed within 180 days at lottery headquarters, located at 1011 W. Main St. in Louisville.
No ticket matched all the numbers to win Saturday’s estimated $209 million jackpot. Officials said the next Powerball drawing will be held Wednesday at 11 p.m. EST.
