A $1 million scratch-off was recently sold in Pennsylvania.
Now, someone else in the state can claim to be the winner of a $1 million-plus jackpot.
A press release published by the Pennsylvania Lottery on Monday confirmed that a jackpot-winning Lottery Match 6 Lotto ticket was sold at Gerrity’s Supermarket in Clarks Summit Borough, Lackawanna County, on Saturday, Nov. 30.
The ticket matched all six winning numbers — 6-8-19-20-43-44 — in order to land the $1.17 million prize. However, the winner remains unidentified as of the publishing of this report.
“Winners are not known until prizes are claimed and tickets are validated,” the press release explains. “Pennsylvania Lottery Match 6 Lotto winners have one year from the drawing date to claim prizes.
“Winning tickets purchased at a Lottery retailer should immediately be signed on the back. Online winnings automatically appear in a player’s account after the claim has been processed. Players may visit palottery.com for more information about how to file a claim.”
Given that, it’s highly encouraged people check their tickets every time.
The Gerrity’s Supermarket will receive a $10,000 bonus for being the retailer to sell the jackpot-bearing ticket.
