Kroger has more licensed lottery locations in Kentucky than any other chain — about 6.3% of all licensed retailers statewide.
218 Kroger locations officially licensed to sell lottery tickets in Kentucky, sourced directly from the state's official open-data portal.
Every Kroger location listed above holds a valid license from the Kentucky Lottery to sell tickets, meaning the store has passed the state's retailer requirements and reports its lottery sales the same way any other licensed dealer does. As a national or regional chain, Kroger locations tend to offer fairly consistent hours and a full lineup of whatever draw games and scratch-offs Kentucky currently runs, though exact selection and hours vary a bit store-to-store — it's always worth a quick call if you're timing a purchase around a jackpot deadline.
None of the 218 Kroger locations in Kentucky currently show a documented winning-ticket sale in LotteryMap's records. That just reflects what's been tracked so far — every Kroger store sells the same tickets, at the same odds, as any other licensed retailer in Kentucky.
If a ticket from one of these locations pays off, small prizes can usually be cashed right at the register where you bought it. Larger prizes require a trip to an official Kentucky Lottery claim center with the signed ticket and a government-issued photo ID — the store itself won't be able to pay out a jackpot-sized win.
