Powerball players claim Kentucky's historic $167.3M jackpot in early Mother's Day gift
Briefly

James Shannon Farthing and his mother, Linda Grizzle, won Kentucky's largest Powerball jackpot worth $167.3 million. After purchasing a ticket at Clark's Pump N Shop, Grizzle informed her son of the life-changing news. They plan to use the winnings to pay off debts and improve their financial situation, with the option of either receiving installments or a lump sum payment. Their victory marks a significant moment for Kentucky, ending a 16-year jackpot drought, and making Georgetown standout as a hotspot for lottery wins.
I would have never dreamed it; it hasn't sunken in yet, said Grizzle. This life-changing moment has brought happiness and relief as they plan to pay off debts.
I'm always buying [lottery tickets] 'cause I'm like 'somebody's gotta win,' said Farthing, emphasizing the hope that compels many to play the lottery regularly.
