The Kentucky Lottery's Cash Ball 225 drawing on June 23, 2026, produced winning numbers 08-19-27-29 with a Cash Ball of 07, according to WHAS11. A winning $225,000 top-prize ticket was sold at Acee's Food and Fuel on Holiday Lane in Fulton, Kentucky.
For the Pick 3 Midday drawing on June 24, the winning numbers were 2-7-2, per Courier Journal. Evening Pick 3 results were scheduled to be drawn at 11:00 PM EDT, with results typically verified within 15 minutes of the draw.
The $225,000 winning Cash Ball 225 ticket was sold the evening of June 23, 2026, according to WHAS11. The retailer, Acee's Food and Fuel, sits on Holiday Lane in Fulton, a small city in western Kentucky. The top prize is fixed at $225,000 — players do not need to match a jackpot that grows over time.
Cash Ball 225 requires players to match four numbers plus a separate Cash Ball number. The odds of hitting the top prize are steep, making any win from a small rural retailer a notable local event. The Kentucky Lottery Corporation confirmed the ticket was valid and eligible for immediate claiming, per Courier Journal.
The Pick 3 Midday draw on June 24 landed on 2-7-2. The Pick 4 Midday came up 3-2-9-9, generating a payout of $10,400 across 27 winners, according to the Kentucky Lottery Corporation. Sales for the Midday draw closed at 1:20 PM EDT, and official numbers were published shortly after.
Evening draws for both Pick 3 and Pick 4 were set for 11:00 PM EDT on June 24. Results are typically posted online within 15 minutes of the draw. Players have up to 180 days to claim prizes under $600 at any licensed Kentucky Lottery retailer.
Anyone claiming a large prize before July 31, 2026, should know that Kentucky Lottery headquarters in Louisville is running shorter hours — 10 AM to 3 PM — due to a major I-65 summer road closure, per WHAS11. The closure has caused heavy traffic disruptions around the downtown Louisville office.
For prizes of $600 or less, winners can cash out at any retailer. Prizes above that amount require a visit to a regional claim center or lottery headquarters. Winners of the $225,000 Cash Ball prize must appear in person and can expect state tax of 3.5% plus federal taxes as high as 37%, according to Lexington Herald-Leader.
Every dollar spent on Kentucky Lottery tickets sends 20 cents directly to the Commonwealth for education, according to Lexington Herald-Leader. Since 1999, the lottery has put more than $5.4 billion into the Kentucky Educational Excellence Scholarship, known as KEES. In Fayette County alone, grants topped $31 million in the current fiscal year.
Lottery sales for fiscal year 2025-2026 have surpassed $2 billion — a record high. Of each dollar spent, 70% goes back to winners, 5% goes to retailers as commission, and 5% covers operating costs. The Kentucky Lottery was created in April 1989 after 60% of voters approved it in a 1988 referendum.
