Briefly Noted: $539K Cash 5 Winner in Port Vue

Category: News || By Submitted Report

One jackpot-winning Cash 5 ticket worth nearly $539,000 from Saturday's drawing was sold at a Port Vue convenience store, a Pennsylvania Lottery spokeswoman announced today.

The ticket, which correctly matched all five numbers (3-6-9-15-16), was sold at the Uni-Mart on Romine Avenue, Lauren Piccolo said in a prepared statement. The ticket is worth a $538,650 jackpot, less 25 percent federal tax.

The retailer will receive a $5,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.

Lottery officials cannot confirm the identity of the winner until the prize is claimed and the ticket is validated. Cash 5 winners have one year from the drawing date to claim prizes.

The Lottery encourages the holder of the winning ticket to sign the back of the ticket, call the Pennsylvania Lottery at (717) 702-8146, and file a claim at state 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.

In the 2010-11 fiscal year, in addition to awarding nearly $214.5 million in prizes to Allegheny County winners, the Pennsylvania Lottery contributed nearly $123.6 million to programs serving Allegheny County's older residents, Piccolo said.
