LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The Kentucky Derby Festival and Kentucky Lottery are teaming up to find the next Thundernator and Derby City Fanatic.
The one lucky winner will receive a prize package that includes one-of-a-kind Derby Festival-themed experiences, ranging from VIP treatment to being the official Thundernator, the person who starts the fireworks for Thunder Over Louisville, the biggest firework show in Kentucky!
“There’s no better way to experience Louisville in the spring than as the Derby City Fanatic,” said Matt Gibson, KDF President & CEO.
To participate, any non-winning KENO or CASH POP tickets costing $5 or more are eligible to be entered during the promotional period. KENO and CASH POP are both lottery games where players wager money on selected numbers.
