A Pennsylvania Lottery player won $197,473 on a Fast Play ticket purchased at a Macungie convenience store on Sunday, Feb. 15.<\/p>\n
The winning Suite Winnings<\/a> ticket was sold at E-Z Shoppe, located at 52 W. Main St. The retailer will receive a $500 bonus for selling the winning ticket.<\/p>\n Suite Winnings is a $10 Fast Play<\/a> game that offers progressive top prizes starting at $125,000. The progressive jackpot grows until someone wins, then resets and begins growing again.<\/p>\n Fast Play<\/a> games print on demand from lottery terminals and are similar to scratch-off tickets, but players don\u2019t need to scratch them or wait for a drawing. Players can check if they\u2019ve won by reviewing the ticket, scanning it at a retailer, or using the Ticket Checker feature on the Pennsylvania Lottery\u2019s mobile app<\/a>.<\/p>\n The holder of the winning ticket should sign the back immediately and call the lottery at 1-800-692-7481. Prizes must be claimed within one year of the ticket purchase date. Winners must validate their tickets before they can be identified.<\/p>\n All lottery prizes exceeding $5,000 are subject to applicable withholding.<\/p>\n The Pennsylvania Lottery directs all proceeds to programs benefiting older residents. Since ticket sales began in 1972, the lottery has contributed more than $37.2 billion to fund transportation, care services, prescription assistance, and local services including senior centers and meals.<\/p>\n If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
