It was a jackpot-filled weekend for lottery players, with wins rolling in from Pennsylvania to Arizona. In Pennsylvania, Cash 5 players hit back-to-back jackpots on Saturday and Sunday, with one ticket winning over half a million dollars and two others splitting a six-figure prize the next night.
Meanwhile, in Arizona, The Pick crowned a $2 million jackpot winner, adding another big prize to the state's winning weekend. As luck continued to spread, thousands of other players cashed in on smaller prizes, proving it was a weekend of winnings both big and small.
Back-to-back Cash 5 wins in Pennsylvania
It was a winning weekend for Cash 5 with Quick Cash players in Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania Lottery draw game not only saw one lucky ticket match all the winning numbers to win the jackpot on Saturday night, but they also had two more lucky tickets match all of the winning numbers drawn on Sunday to split that jackpot.
On Saturday, January 18, 2025, the winning numbers were 4, 9, 19, 20, and 38. One lucky ticket matched all five of the winning numbers to win the jackpot, which was at $508,265. Lottery officials haven't yet released any details on where the winning ticket was purchased.
Then, on Sunday, January 19, 2025, the Cash 5 jackpot reset to $150,000, and the winning numbers were 7, 8, 19, 31, and 33. This time around, two lucky tickets matched all five of the numbers to win the jackpot. The tickets will split the jackpot, with each of them getting $75,000 before taxes. Again, lottery officials have not released any details on where the winning tickets were purchased.
In addition to the jackpot winners, other players had a bit of luck and won some money. For both the Saturday and Sunday night drawing, there were 38 players that matched 4 of the 5 numbers to win $200. There were also 1,749 players that matched 3 of the 5 numbers to win $10, and over 21,000 players matched 2 of the 5 numbers to win $2.
Another jackpot winner in Arizona
While all the talk seems to be on the Mega Millions winner we saw in Arizona over the weekend, the Arizona Lottery had another jackpot winner crowned. Arizona's in-state draw game, The Pick, saw one lucky ticket match all of the winning numbers to win the jackpot, which was at $2 million heading into the night.
The winning numbers for that Saturday, January 18, 2025, drawing were 3, 12, 15, 31, 33, and 44. Lottery officials in Arizona have not yet released any details on where this winning ticket was purchased either.
In addition to the jackpot winner, there were also over 6,000 other prize winners. There were 17 tickets that matched 5 of the 6 numbers to win $2,000. There were also 373 tickets that matched 4 of the 6 numbers to win $50, and then 6,320 tickets matched 3 of the 6 numbers to win $3.
Of course, this all comes after the big Mega Millions win this past weekend. One lucky ticket purchased in Tempe matched all of the winning numbers to win the $112 million jackpot.
