Kansas Million Dollar Lottery Winner

Kansas has a new millionaire, following Wednesday night’s Powerball drawing.

According to the Kansas Lottery, one ticket matched the first five Powerball numbers, but not the Powerball to win the $1 million cash prize.

The winning numbers in the August 24 Powerball drawing are 9-11-25-64-65 Powerball 16.

The winning ticket was sold in southwest Kansas, which includes the following 24 counties: Greeley, Wichita, Scott, Lane, Ness, Rush, Hamilton, Kearny, Finney, Hodgeman, Pawnee, Stanton, Grant, Haskell, Gray, Ford, Edwards, Kiowa, Morton, Stevens, Seward, Meade, Clark and Comanche.

Players have 365 days from the date of a drawing to claim Powerball and other draw game prizes.  Since no tickets matched all numbers in the August 24 Powerball drawing, the estimated jackpot for Saturday night’s drawing is $142 million, with a cash option of $98.1 million.
