Some lucky individuals in Allegheny County are likely experiencing a significant uptick in fortune, having secured a jackpot victory by playing the Pennsylvania Lottery. A ticket worth a substantial sum of $650,000 was confirmed to be sold at the Coen convenience store located on West Run Road in Homestead, as reported by CBS News Pittsburgh. In addition to churning out a jackpot winner, the store is set to receive a $5,000 bonus for their role in the transaction.
The winning occurrence unfolded through the Cash 5 with Quick Cash game. The draw broke no competition, with the numbers 3-15-24-33-36 aligning perfectly with the ticket. This jackpot is quite the windfall amidst the start of 2025, and it also saw over 14,200 other Cash 5 tickets win smaller prizes, as WPXI reported.
Describe the game's mechanics: Every Cash 5 play with Quick Cash costs $2 and includes five numbers from a possible 43. Players can either manually pick their numbers or have them automatically generated by a computer. CBS Pittsburgh explains that the prizes are not confined to the jackpot alone; cash can be won by matching two, three, or four numbers. Additionally, each ticket has a Quick Cash game attached, which provides another avenue to win $2 or $6.
The winner’s identity will remain unknown until they claim their prize.
