PHILADELPHIA, PA — A Philadelphia resident is about to have a life-changing experience, thanks to the Pennsylvania Lottery’s Ca$h Wanted game. On Saturday, March 9, a progressive top prize-winning ticket worth an astounding $1,192,632.50 was sold at Commissary Food Market, located at 5255 Ridge Avenue.
As a reward for selling the winning ticket, Commissary Food Market will receive a $10,000 bonus from the Pennsylvania Lottery. The news has created a buzz in the local community, with residents excited about the good fortune that has befallen one of their own.
Ca$h Wanted is a $20 Fast Play game that offers progressive top prizes starting at $300,000. Unlike traditional lottery games, Fast Play games print on-demand from a Lottery sales terminal or self-service touchscreen vending terminal. These games are similar to Scratch-Off games but eliminate the need to scratch a ticket or wait for a drawing, offering instant gratification to players.
Winners can confirm their fortunes by reviewing the ticket themselves, scanning it at a Lottery retailer, or utilizing the Ticket Checker feature on the Lottery’s Official App. The lucky holder of the top prize-winning Fast Play ticket should sign the back of the ticket immediately and contact the Lottery at 1-800-692-7481.
Before winners can be officially identified, prizes must be claimed, and tickets validated. Fast Play prizes must be claimed within one year of the ticket purchase date. All lottery prizes exceeding $5,000 are subject to applicable withholding.
As we celebrate this exciting win, the Pennsylvania Lottery is also reminding its players that March is Problem Gambling Awareness Month. If anyone is struggling with gambling-related issues, there are free and confidential resources available, including the helpline 1-800-GAMBLER (1-800-426-2537). Support can also be accessed via pacouncil.com, where individuals can reach the helpline by phone, text, or chat.
Fast Play games, like Ca$h Wanted, are an exciting and instant way to potentially win big. With some Fast Play games offering a progressive top prize that grows until it’s won, the excitement continues to build. Once the top prize is won, it immediately resets and starts growing again.
This latest win serves as a reminder of the thrill and potential life-changing impact of participating in the Pennsylvania Lottery. As we congratulate the latest winner, we look forward to more Pennsylvanians experiencing their lucky day!
