Winning Cash 5 tickets sold in New Ken, Pittsburgh; $400K jackpot will be split
There’s another lucky Pennsylvania Lottery winner in the Alle-Kiski Valley.
One of two jackpot-winning Cash 5 tickets was sold at the Golden Dawn supermarket on Freeport Road in New Kensington, the Pennsylvania Lottery announced Thursday.
The other ticket was sold at UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital in Pittsburgh’s Oakland neighborhood.
The ticket was sold in the hospital’s cafeteria, a UPMC spokeswoman said.
The winners will split the $400,000 jackpot. Each ticket matched all five balls drawn — 1, 12, 14, 25 and 32 — to win $200,000 each.
The news comes one day after the Pennsylvania Lottery confirmed a $1 million-winning Mega Millionaire scratch-off ticket was sold at Community Supermarket in Harrison.
Golden Dawn and UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital will each get a $500 bonus for selling the winning tickets.
Winners are unknown until prizes are claimed and tickets validated. Cash 5 prizes expire one year from the drawing date.
More than 29,100 other Cash 5 tickets also won prizes in the drawing, the Pennsylvania Lottery said.
