Pennsylvania Lottery fever is high! A lucky ticket holder in Westmoreland County is celebrating after their Cash 5 with Quick Cash ticket matched all five winning numbers in the Sunday, June 9th drawing.

This lucky player takes home $1.4 million (less withholding). The winning ticket was sold at Giant Eagle on Tarentum Bridge Road in New Kensington. Giant Eagle is celebrating their own win, earning a $10,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.

Claim it or lose it

This win serves as a reminder to everyone to check their tickets regularly. Winners can only be identified after prizes are claimed and tickets validated. Don't let your potential fortune slip through your fingers!

If you think you might have the winning ticket, contact the nearest Lottery office or call 1-800-692-7481 within one year of the drawing date to claim your prize.

More winners await

The good news doesn't stop there. Over 30,200 other Cash 5 with Quick Cash tickets won prizes in the same drawing. Remember to check all your tickets every time you play. You can claim lower-tier prizes at any lottery retailer.

Cash 5 with Quick Cash offers a fun and exciting way to play the lottery. Here's how it works:

  • Pick five lucky numbers from 1 to 43. If you feeling indecisive, let the computer choose your numbers with a Quick Pick option.
  • Match all five drawn numbers to win the big jackpot. Prizes are also awarded for matching two, three, or four winning numbers.
  • Each $2 ticket packs a double punch: you get entry into the main Cash 5 game evening drawing and one shot at the Quick Cash instant win game.
  • The Quick Cash game offers the chance to win $2 or $6 on the spot. While the odds of winning the Cash 5 jackpot are a bit steeper (1 in 962,598), your chances of winning a Quick Cash prize are much better (1 in 4.71).

Don't miss out: Expiring $100,000 Powerball ticket

A winning Powerball ticket sold in Dauphin County for the July 10th, 2023 drawing is about to expire.

This ticket matched four out of the five white balls plus the red Powerball for a prize of $100,000 (less withholding). The winning ticket was purchased at Pilot Travel Center on Linglestown Road in West Hanover Township.

Don't let this opportunity pass you by!  File a claim with the Pennsylvania Lottery by mail or in person at a claim center.

Here's what to do:

  • Sign the back of your ticket for safekeeping.
  • Call the Lottery at 1-800-692-7481.
  • File a claim in person at any of the seven Pennsylvania Lottery claim centers (appointments are recommended).

Unclaimed lottery prizes go towards a good cause – programs benefiting older Pennsylvanians.

Play the Pennsylvania Lottery responsibly, check your tickets regularly, and good luck!
