Two Pennsylvania Lottery players in western Pennsylvania are waking up a lot richer after matching all five numbers in Wednesday's Cash Five with Quick Cash drawing and splitting the $1,455,727 jackpot. Each winning ticket is worth $727,863.50 before withholding, and the holders have one year to claim their prizes. Both tickets were sold at Coen Markets locations in Beaver County and Westmoreland County.

The winning balls were 1, 2, 13, 19, 25, and 34 in Wednesday's Cash Five with Quick Cash drawing, and the jackpot had grown to $1,455,727. Each of the two matching tickets is worth $727,863.50, less applicable withholding, according to WPXI.

About the retailer
Coen Markets operates dozens of convenience stores across Pennsylvania and nearby states, including the two locations that sold the winning tickets. The chain's regional footprint means local stores sometimes get a publicity bump and a $5,000 retailer bonus when they sell a big prize, as shown on the Coen listing on MapQuest.
