In a stroke of good fortune for Washington County, yet another resident has struck gold with the Pennsylvania Lottery Cash 5. A ticket sold at Jefferson Avenue Station matched all five numbers in Wednesday's draw—4-8-10-16-19—netting the holder a life-changing sum of $726,103.50. The win comes as a continuation of what seems to be a lucky streak for the area, adding to the list of big-ticket lottery wins this year, as reported by WPXI.
The winning ticket sale has not only brought joy to the prize recipient but also benefits the vendor, Jefferson Avenue Station, which is set to receive a $5,000 bonus for its part in selling the lucky ticket. Apart from the jackpot, the Pennsylvania Lottery announced that more than 21,000 Cash 5 tickets won prizes in the same drawing, which speaks to the widespread chance of winning within the game, according to a CBS Pittsburgh report.
Those holding on to winning tickets, including the latest Cash 5 jackpot winner, have up to one year from the draw date to claim their prizes. Lottery winners are directed to get in touch with the nearest Lottery office or call the provided helpline at 1-800-692-7481 to begin the claim process.
