You've heard those sayings 'When it rains, it pours' and 'Lightning never strikes twice?'
Well if you live in the Octorara area and you play the Pennsylvania Lottery's Cash 5 gam, you can answer a resounding YES IT DOES! to both those age old expressions.
Turns out Friday's winning $225,000 Cash 5 ticket was sold at the Cochranville Turkey Hill at the corner of Route 10 and 41. This on top of the $740,000 winning ticket sold just a few days earlier by Xpress Stop in Parkesburg.
Here's this morning's announcement from the Pennsylvania Lottery:
One jackpot-winning Cash 5 ticket worth $225,000 from the Sept. 9 drawing was sold at Turkey Hill, 1074 Gap Newport Pike, Cochranville, Chester County.
The ticket correctly matched all five balls, 04-06-10-18-27, to win a jackpot of $225,000, less 25-percent federal withholding.
The retailer will receive a $500 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 Lottery at 717-702-8146 and file a claim at Lottery headquarters in Middletown, Dauphin County, or at any of Lottery’s seven area offices.
