In a fortunate turn of events for two Pennsylvania Lottery players, the Cash 5 jackpot of over $2.3 million will be split between two winning tickets. One of these potentially life-changing tickets, as reported by WTAE, was purchased at a 7-Eleven located on Glen Eden Road in Cranberry Township, Butler County. Fortune equally smiled on another individual whose winning ticket was sold at a Giant Eagle grocery store in Millcreek Township, Erie County.
The winning numbers for the June 9 drawing were 4, 7, 17, 27, 36. The prize of $2,325,690 is now to be evenly split between the two lucky winners. According to details provided by Audacy, each winner is to take home a sum of $1,162,845 before taxes. Both winning retailers are also set to receive a $10,000 bonus for selling the winning tickets.
While the identities of the winners remain unknown, lottery officials urge them to sign the back of their tickets and to reach out to the Pennsylvania Lottery at 1-800-692-7481 to begin the claim process. The winners have one year from the drawing date to claim their prizes, which means they have until next June to come forward.
