Lottery Tickets Brought Players More Than $10 Million in Wins in Pennsylvania

The year started on a high note for PA Lottery players. Almost all games offered in the state lottery brought huge wins. In addition, the top prize winner was announced for a new $50 ticket, and several progressive jackpot prizes were awarded.

Here are some of the best wins so far in Pennsylvania.

The Biggest Lottery Scratch-off Prize is Going to Philadelphia

A new lottery product from PA Lottery was launched in late December. The second-ever $50 scratch-off ticket got its first winner just two weeks into the new year. Five Million Fabolous Fortune’s first winner came from South Philadelphia, and he scratched off a top $5 million prize.

The lucky winner bought his ticket at the 7-Eleven store on West Passyunk Avenue. The store will get a $10,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.

A new lottery ticket came as a celebration of 50 years of the PA State Lottery. After an anonymous player got the top prize, the lottery released new tickets to meet the demand. The new ticket is called $5 Million Money Maker.

The Keystone State lottery awarded $5 million to five players in 2022; currently, two more top prizes are available. However, the popularity of scratch-off tickets with a high $50 tag surprised many analysts.

The Continuous Popularity of Holiday Scratchers

The holiday season is a time for trendy scratch games. Tickets with a holiday theme get a lot of traction, and We Wish You a Merry Million is on top of popularity. The ticket costs $20 and has top prizes of 1 million. Pennsylvania players claimed two top awards last month.

The first winner got a ticket in Blair County at Saji & Sharvan in Altona. The store got a lofty $5000 bonus for selling the ticket. The other winner bought the ticket in Mongomery County at Wawa.

The scratching game We Wish You a Merry Million has two more top prizes. Another holiday ticket, the $3 Million Snow Bank that costs $30, still has four out of its $3 million biggest prizes out there. This game was launched in late October and will be around until the top prizes are won. If you’re not sure about winning the lottery, you can always try your luck at online slots that pay real money. This is a great alternative and you don’t have to wait for the day when the winners are announced and you can play anytime and anywhere.

Quick Million for a Player in the PA Lottery Fast Play Game

A lucky player landed $1 million in mid-January in Northampton County. The player got a nice surprise on a Fast $50 ticket that earned him much more than $50.

Fast Play is a $20 game that offers numerous $50 awards but also runs a progressive prize system that starts at $350,000. The jackpot rose to more than a million when the player hit it on January 14. The ticket was sold at Chubby’s Food & Beer in Easton, and the retailer got a $10,000 bonus for the winning ticket.

The Fast $50 is not running now, but PA players can choose among other Fast Play games with progressive top prizes. The highest award you can get is $1.06 million on the game Nest Egg.

Pennsylvania players can ask for Fast Play games at retail shops or print them on a self-service terminal. They require no scratching or waiting for the draw.

Draw Games for PA Lottery Awarded more Than a Million in the First Month

PA Lottery runs two popular draw games, Cash 5 Quick Cash and Match 6. Both games had $1 million in wins in January. The Cash 5 jackpot reached $1.2 million on New Year’s Day, and the winner bought a single ticket in Montgomery County that matched all five numbers. The numbers were 4-24-29-34-36, and the key was sold at Giant in North Wales.

The match 6 winner got their ticket in York County. The ticket from local 7-Eleven matched all six numbers for the $1.66 million prize.
