 Why I am denied playing some numbers?
Due to liability issues, some numbers are considered sold out. The games that have had liability limits put on them are Pick 3 and Pick 4. Kentucky Lottery rules and regulations have a liability limit on specific numbers per draw for each of these games. The like for Pick 3 is $1.5 million and $1.5 million for Pick 4 as well. Financial liability is the reason for setting limits, setting limits is a standard in the Lottery industry and not just something done in Kentucky

 Why is the Cash Option always less than the Annuity Option?
The value of the Cash Option comes out to be the amount of money the Lottery would have to invest in the current money market in order for that money to grow to the advertised jackpot amount over a 30 year period (annuity length for Powerball Jackpot). Players will automatically receive the Annuity Option unless within 60 days of claiming the prize they decide to receive the Cash Option amount instead.
 
 Where do I cash winning tickets at?
Winning tickets from the Pick 3, Pick 4, Cash Ball, Win for Life, Powerball, 3 Line Lotto and Raffle tickets are valid for 180 days from the date of the drawings. Scratch-off tickets however, are valid for 180 days from the game's end date.
