KENTUCKY ( FOX 56 ) — Northern Kentucky has luck in the water. Two people from Campbell County collected big winnings thanks to the Kentucky Lottery.
“I was one number away from retirement.”
A Dayton man, who wished to remain anonymous, was just one number away from winning the Sept. 9 Powerball jackpot. He managed to match four white balls and the Powerball, bringing in $50,000.
A tidy sum even if it is small compared to the estimated jackpot of $121 million.
He told Kentucky Lottery officials he learned about a new and quick way to purchase his tickets, known as the Kentucky Combo. The Kentucky Combo consists of 5 different draw game tickets, one of which is Powerball, selecting numbers generated by the lottery machine.
