MIDDETOWN, PA — Pennsylvania Lottery enthusiasts have reason to celebrate as a series of significant winnings have been reported across the state. Highlighting the excitement, a Powerball® ticket worth $1 million was sold in Bucks County during the October 23 drawing. The fortuitous ticket, purchased at Cigarette Outlet on South Delmorr Avenue in Morrisville, matched five out of the five white balls drawn, falling just short of the jackpot by missing the red Powerball number. For its role in this lucky occurrence, the retailer will receive a $5,000 bonus.
In addition to this impressive win, Bucks County wasn’t alone in celebrating lottery success. Tioga County saw a major prize with a Pennsylvania Lottery Match 6 Lotto ticket that matched all six winning numbers, securing a $1.62 million jackpot on October 22. This winning ticket was sold at Dandy Mini Mart on Route 287 in Middlebury Center, earning the retailer a $10,000 bonus.

Another notable victory came from the multi-state Cash4Life® game, which awarded its 17th $1 million prize in the state since 2015, with the winning ticket sold in Northampton County at Uni-Mart on Route 378 in Bethlehem, securing a $10,000 bonus for the retailer.
