LOUISVILLE, Ky. (FOX 56) — A Kentucky family's last-minute Powerball had a big payout.

The Kentucky Lottery said the family, who asked to remain anonymous, said they debated for about getting tickets for the Sept. 6 drawing, which had the second-largest jackpot in Powerball history.

“When the jackpot gets high, you start noticing because everybody’s buzzing. Everybody’s talking about it. It’s everywhere,” the mom said. “But I didn’t want to go buy a ticket, but my grandson kept pushing us to. So, at 9 that night, I said, 'Come on, let’s go.'”

The family said they decided to go to three different Lottery retailers to buy their tickets, with the winning ticket being purchased at M&S Food Mart, 11550 Bluegrass Parkway, Louisville, Ky. 40299, which will earn $500 for selling the ticket.
