Rumors Abound Regarding Million Dollar Prize

(KAIR)--Despite rumors that a winning Powerball ticket was purchased in Atchison, the Kansas Lottery says no one has come forward to claim the prize. “At this time, the $1million Powerball winning ticket has not been claimed,” Kansas Lottery Spokeswoman Karie Lowe tells MSC News in an email, adding that the specific location of where the ticket was sold won't be known “until the winner comes forward to claim the prize.”

The Kansas Lottery on Thursday revealed that a ticket matching the first five numbers, but not the Powerball number, was sold somewhere in northeast Kansas.

Since that time, speculation has swirled, with rumors Friday pointing to Atchison as the location where that purchase happened.

Lowe says once the winner comes forward, details regarding the purchase location will be made public.

The northeast region of Kansas includes 21 counties.

The Powerball jackpot was won in Indiana for $435.3 million.

Wednesday night’s jackpot was the first won in 2017 and the 7th largest in Powerball history.
