Prizes from the Kentucky Lottery, checked Sunday, October 11, 2026. Every draw is random: each of the 10,000 possible numbers has the same chance every time.
Good to know
- A 50¢ wager pays half the $1 prize, and a wager over $1 multiplies the prize by that dollar amount.
- Straight/Box costs at least $1: 50¢ on the Straight and 50¢ on the Box.
- Prizes must be claimed within 180 days after the drawing date.
- The Kentucky Lottery may set a prize liability limit for a drawing and cut off sales on a number once the limit would be exceeded.
- The lottery's own pages disagree on the Straight/Box 12-Way (any order) prize (Rules PDF says $200; the web page popup says $400), so it isn't shown here.
- These figures were read from the Internet Archive's copy of the lottery's own pages (the copy used for the prizes is dated October 11, 2026), because the lottery's site can't be reached from where we work.
