HAVERTOWN, PA — A lucky Pennsylvania Lottery Cash 5 with Quick Cash player has hit the jackpot, matching all five numbers in the draw held on Thursday, February 22. The winning numbers, 17-21-22-33-38, resulted in a prize of $300,000 before withholdings. The winning ticket was sold at the 7-Eleven located at 143 West Eagle Road, Havertown, which has also earned a $500 bonus for selling the ticket.
While the big win is certainly exciting, the winner’s identity remains unknown until the prize is claimed and the ticket validated. Winners have one year from the drawing date to claim their main Cash 5 game prizes. Prizes won on any Quick Cash game must also be claimed within one year of the purchase date.

In addition to the jackpot win, over 9,500 other Cash 5 with Quick Cash tickets scored prizes in the same draw. Lottery officials encourage players to check their tickets each time they play, as lower-tier prizes can be claimed at any Lottery retailer.
