PHILADELPHIA, PA — A lucky Pennsylvania Lottery player struck gold on Tuesday, August 20, with a winning ticket worth $320,559 in the BBQ Bucks game. The winning ticket was sold at a Shell station located at 2901 West Abbotsford Avenue in Philadelphia. As a reward for selling the fortunate ticket, the retailer will receive a $500 bonus from the Pennsylvania Lottery.
BBQ Bucks, a popular $10 Fast Play game, offers progressive top prizes starting at $150,000. Unlike traditional lottery games that require scratching or waiting for a draw, Fast Play games provide instant results. Tickets are printed on demand from a Lottery sales terminal or self-service touch-screen vending terminal, making it a convenient option for players.
To determine if they have won, players can simply review their ticket or scan it at a Lottery retailer. Additionally, the Ticket Checker feature on the Pennsylvania Lottery’s Official App offers a quick and easy way to confirm winnings.
Winners of top prizes are advised to sign the back of their ticket immediately and contact the Lottery at 1-800-692-7481. The Lottery emphasizes the importance of claiming and validating tickets promptly, as Fast Play prizes must be claimed within one year of the ticket purchase date.
All lottery prizes over $5,000 are subject to applicable withholding taxes. To learn more about Fast Play games, including rules and odds of winning, players can visit the official Pennsylvania Lottery website.
