Kentucky Father Hits Lottery Jackpot Three Months After Daughter’s Victory
Louisville, Kentucky – In an extraordinary turn of events, a Kentucky father has won a staggering lottery prize, just three months after his daughter became another recent winner. Richard Adkins, 54, from Shelbyville, claimed a $1 million Powerball prize, matching the five numbers in the September 21 drawing. His daughter, Kimberly Adkins, had won $250,000 in the Kentucky Lottery in June. Adkins, a medical transport driver, said he has been playing the lottery for years but had never won anything significant until now. “I can’t believe this,” Adkins exclaimed while claiming his prize at the Kentucky Lottery Headquarters. “I’ve been playing for years, but I never thought I’d win anything this big. Adkins plans to use his winnings to pay off his mortgage and vehicle, secure his daughter’s future, and travel to his dream destinations. The recent winning streak in the Adkins family has left them in disbelief. “We’re so blessed,” Adkins said. “We’ve been through some tough times, so this is a miracle for us.” The Kentucky Lottery has seen a surge in winners this year, with several individuals claiming multi-million dollar prizes. “We’re thrilled to congratulate Mr. Adkins and his daughter on their incredible wins,” said Kentucky Lottery President and CEO Mary Harville. “We hope their stories inspire other Kentuckians to try their luck and dream big.” Adkins’ victory marks the second time in recent history that a father and daughter have won major lottery prizes within a short period. In 2018, a father in California won a $20 million Powerball jackpot, while his daughter won $1 million in the same drawing. The Adkins’ story serves as a reminder that luck can strike twice, and that anything is possible when you have hope and play the game.
Kentucky Dad Wins Lottery Three Months After Daughter’s Big Win
A Kentucky father has become the second person in his family to win the lottery in just three months. The father, who has chosen to remain anonymous, won a $1 million prize in the Kentucky Lottery’s Cash Ball 225 drawing on August 16. His daughter had won a $1 million prize in the same game on May 31. The father told lottery officials that he was “still in shock” about his win. He said he plans to use the money to help his family and pay off some debts. The father’s win marks the third time in Kentucky history that two family members have won the lottery within a short period of time. In 2013, a mother and son won the lottery within a month of each other. In 1995, a husband and wife won the lottery within a year of each other. The odds of winning the lottery are very low, but it seems that luck is running in this Kentucky family.
