A Frankfort man said he dreamed he would win the lottery and ended up claiming a $2 million Mega Millions prize from the Dec. 26 drawing. The odds of winning the $1 million prize are one in 12,629,232. “I will usually play Powerball and Mega Millions when the jackpots are high,” he said. In 2025, the Kentucky Lottery paid out more than $1.6 billion in prizes. Kentucky Lottery proceeds have funded scholarships and grants for over 1.1 million Kentucky college students.
