There’s at least one lucky person in Erie today. The Pennsylvania Lottery says that one of two jackpot-winning Cash 5 tickets was sold in Erie. The other was sold in Pike County.
The Erie ticket was purchased at the Stop N Go at 34 W. Eighth St.
Each ticket correctly matched all five balls in the June 11 drawing, 15-17-19-25-30, to split a jackpot of $1,422,602 and win individual prizes of $711,301, less 25 percent federal withholding.
Each retailer will receive a $5,000 bonus for selling a winning ticket.
The Lottery encourages each holder of a winning ticket to sign the back of the ticket, call the Lottery at 717-702-8146 and file a claim at Lottery headquarters in Middletown, Dauphin County, or at any of Lottery’s seven area offices.
Claims may be filed at headquarters Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at area offices.
As of Tuesday afternoon, no one had claimed to have the ticket.
