A game-changing win has landed in Bowling Green, Kentucky: the Kentucky Lottery Corporation confirms that a “$25,000 a year for life” ticket was sold at Jr. Foods on 3380 Louisville Road, Bowling Green.
This ticket, part of the popular Lucky for Life game, matched the first five white-ball numbers (8, 9, 15, 31, 32) though not the Lucky Ball (12). The result: a winner in our region is now eligible for $25,000 annually for life—or a one-time cash option of approximately $390,000.

For locals, this offers both excitement and a reminder: if you play, keep your tickets safe, sign the back, and claim within 180 days.
