Kansas lottery player hits big $3.7M jackpot prize

TOPEKA (KSNT) - A lottery player in Kansas is a few million dollars richer this week after hitting a major jackpot prize.

Cory Thone with the Kansas Lottery said in a press release that someone in northeast Kansas bought a ticket for a prize amounting to more than $3.7 million on Wednesday, Sept. 25. This was through the lottery game Super Kansas Cash which last had a jackpot winner on July 3, 2023.

The winning numbers for this prize were 8-14-27-28-29 with a "Super Cash Ball" of 22. The business that sold the lucky ticket is eligible for a kickback prize after the money is claimed by the winner.

The winner, who has yet to step forward, has one year to collect the money. The odds of hitting this prize are one in 2,517,200, according to the Kansas Lottery.

Thone said the Super Kansas Cash jackpot is now back to $100,000 for the upcoming drawing on Saturday, Sept. 28. Learn more about Super Kansas Cash and how to play by clicking here.
