Pennsylvania Player Wins $500K Cash 5 Jackpot
In addition to that, the lottery announced two winners of $250K prizes from Powerball
The Pennsylvania Lottery announced that a player from Huntingdon County has won the $500,000 jackpot from its Lottery Cash 5 game. In addition to that, the lottery unveiled two winners of $250,000 prizes from Powerball.
Cash 5 Player Scoops Up $500K Prize
The Lottery Cash 5 jackpot went to a Huntingdon County player who purchased their Quick Cash ticket at Smokers Express, 12435 William Penn Highway, Mill Creek Boro. According to lottery officials, the ticket in question matched the numbers of all five balls, winning it the game’s top prize.
For context, the winning numbers for the November 17 drawing were 4, 21, 27, 29, and 42.
As of the time of this writing, the winner has yet to come forward to claim their prize. Like all main Cash 5 game prizes, the jackpot must be claimed within a year of the day of the drawing.
In the meantime, the shop that sold the ticket will receive a $500 bonus.
Two Powerball Players Won Six-Figure Sums
The lottery also announced two winners of $250,000 prizes. Both players were enjoying the Powerball game and succeeded in matching four of the five white numbers, as well as the red Powerball.
While this prize bracket usually awards prizes of $50,000, both players had the $1 Power Play feature active, netting them $250,000 each, instead.
According to lottery officials, one of the two winning tickets was sold at Kwik Fill, 21268 Blooming Valley, West Mead Township, Crawford County. The other was purchased by a customer of Wawa, 1195 Pottstown Pike, West Goshen Township, Chester County.
Meanwhile, the Powerball jackpot is currently standing at $629 million with a cash value of $294.5 million. The next drawing is set to take place on Saturday, November 22, 2025.
Mega Millions Jackpot Was Won
While the Powerball jackpot continues to grow, the $980 million Mega Millions jackpot was just won by a lucky player in Georgia. They were not the only lucky Georgian, though, as another player won $4 million from the subsequent drawing.
In other news, a family in New Jersey just proved that lightning can indeed strike twice after winning a $3 million jackpot from a scratch-off ticket only a few months after scratching a separate $1 million ticket.
