Someone's luck just turned golden in Westmoreland County, where a Sheetz store became the point of sale for a Pennsylvania Lottery ticket worth a staggering $450,000. Per details from a WTAE report, the fortunate lottery participant hit the jackpot in Sunday's Cash 5 with Quick Cash drawing. The ticket precisely matched all five balls, numbered 5, 9, 38, 39, 43, seizing the hefty prize.
Winning at such large stakes changes the game, not just for the winner but also for the seller. As identified in WPXI's report, the Sheetz outlet on Route 30 was awarded a $500 bonus for selling the winning ticket.
The winning ticket has a time limit—winners must claim their Cash 5 prize within one year of the drawing, and Quick Cash prizes must be claimed within a year of purchase.
