Kentucky Man Wins $3 Million Lottery Prize

A Radcliff man became a millionaire after winning $3 million from a Kentucky Lottery scratch-off ticket, the $30 Break Fort Knox, purchased at a Kroger in Elizabethtown on December 1. He had initially used $40 he won from a previous $2 million scratch-off to buy the ticket, expressing confidence in his chances: 'It’s not if, it’s when.' After scratching off the ticket in-store and matching the number 17, he was taken aback by the win, needing multiple confirmations before believing it was real. He opted for the lump sum cash payment of $2,244,000, receiving $1,615,680 after taxes, which he plans to use for debt repayment, investments, and travel. Kroger will receive a commission of $22,440 for selling the winning ticket.
