Kentucky Couple Wins $162,000 Lottery with Personal Numbers

A couple from Louisville, Kentucky, has achieved a significant lottery victory by relying on a personal set of numbers. The couple, who have chosen to remain anonymous, matched all four white ball winning numbers along with the Cash Ball in the Kentucky Lottery, following a ticket purchase at the B Quick Marathon convenience store in Louisville.

Personal Numbers Lead to Big Win

The couple has been consistent players in the lottery for several years, using a mix of personal numbers for their first line and quick picks for the subsequent two lines. The wife expressed her joy about their win, stating, “What I loved about our win is the numbers that we won on were the numbers that I picked. His birthday, my birthday, and our anniversary date.” This personal touch made their win even more special.

The couple, both retired, realized they had won the top prize three days after the drawing on August 22. “We were just sitting around after the yard work, and I decided to get another cup of coffee and head up to my room, where I keep the tickets. I checked our tickets and there it was,” one of them recounted.

Plans for the Future

After taxes, the couple collected a total of $162,000 from the Kentucky Lottery Headquarters. They have expressed plans to use this windfall for home renovations and the possibility of purchasing a new car.

This lottery win highlights not only their dedication to playing but also the personal significance of the numbers they chose, reflecting important milestones in their lives. As they embark on this new chapter, the couple’s story serves as an uplifting reminder of the potential rewards that can come from a simple game of chance.
