A Powerball player in Kentucky won the $167 million jackpot, lottery officials say.

The ticket matched five winning numbers and the Powerball in the drawing Saturday, April 26, the national Powerball site said. The cash value of the jackpot was estimated to be $77.3 million.

The winning ticket was sold at Clark’s Pump N Shop in Georgetown, about a 15-mile drive north from Lexington, lottery officials said. It is the biggest Powerball jackpot won in Kentucky.

The grand prize now resets to an estimated $20 million, with a cash value of about $9.2 million, for the next drawing Monday, April 28, the site said.

The winning numbers were 1, 12, 14, 18 and 69, with a Powerball of 2, the site said. The Power Play multiplier was 3x.

More than 510,000 other Powerball tickets sold in the United States also won prizes ranging from $4 to $150,000, the lottery said.

The Powerball jackpot was previously won March 29, when a California player hit the $527 million grand prize, lottery officials said.

What to know about Powerball

To score a jackpot in the Powerball, a player must match all five white balls and the red Powerball.

The odds of scoring the jackpot prize are 1 in 292,201,338.

Tickets can be bought on the day of the drawing, but sales times and price vary by state.

Drawings are broadcast Saturdays, Mondays and Wednesdays at 10:59 p.m. ET and can be streamed online.

Powerball is played in 45 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Many people can gamble or play games of chance without harm. However, for some, gambling is an addiction that can ruin lives and families.

If you or a loved one shows signs of gambling addiction, you can seek help by calling the national gambling hotline at 1-800-522-4700 or visiting the National Council on Problem Gambling website.
