Lightning struck in Greene County. A tiny convenience store just made someone a millionaire.
Muhly's Little Store in Clarksville sold Pennsylvania's latest Match 6 Lotto jackpot-winning ticket. The ticket hit all six numbers in Thursday's drawing: 11-12-13-22-30-35. Prize value? $1,050,000.
The winning store gets rewarded, too
Small businesses drive lottery sales across Pennsylvania. The state rewards them for it.
Muhly's Little Store will pocket a $10,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket. Not bad for a day's work at 137 Center Street.
The store operates under Holy Geeta LLC. They're now part of lottery history in Greene County.
What happens next?
Nobody knows who won yet. Winners stay anonymous until they claim their prize and validate their ticket.
The clock started ticking Thursday night. Pennsylvania gives Match 6 winners exactly one year to claim their jackpots. Miss that deadline? The money goes back to the state.
Smart players sign their tickets immediately. Lost tickets can't be replaced.
Recent Pennsylvania lottery wins paint a pattern
This Greene County win follows another big Match 6 jackpot. Just two weeks ago, someone in Allegheny County won $4.45 million.
That September 9th winner bought their ticket at Cogo's in West Homestead. The winning numbers were 1-7-8-21-43-44.
Why does this matter? Pennsylvania Match 6 players have been on a hot streak. The Allegheny County jackpot ranked 13th largest in the game's history.
Match 6 Lotto drives serious money
The recent jackpot run generated nearly $25 million in sales. Pennsylvania's cut exceeded $8.4 million.
Where does lottery profit go? Straight to programs for older Pennsylvanians.
More than 97,900 tickets won smaller prizes in that September 9th drawing. Thursday's Greene County drawing produced over 43,900 additional winners.
How Match 6 Lotto works
Players pay $2 per ticket. Choose six numbers from 1 to 49, or let the computer pick randomly. Here's the twist: Each $2 ticket actually gives you three separate plays. The computer generates two additional number sets automatically. You get 18 total numbers across three lines. Win up to four times per ticket - once on each line, plus a combined play bonus. Drawings happen every evening. Buy up to 26 drawings in advance if you're feeling confident.
Greene County just joined Pennsylvania's millionaire club. Someone's life changed forever with six simple numbers. Will you check your tickets? Pennsylvania reminds players to verify every ticket, every time.
