Pennsylvania Lottery Match 6 Lotto Jackpot-Winning Ticket Worth $1.8 Million Sold in Delaware County

Middletown – One jackpot-winning Match 6 Lotto ticket worth $1.8 million from the March 21 drawing was sold at Peppy’s Automotive Inc., 775 Burmont Road, Drexel Hill, Delaware County.

The ticket correctly matched all six winning numbers, 06-16-34-39-40-42, to win a jackpot of $1,800,000, less 25 percent federal withholding.

The retailer will receive a $10,000 bonus for selling the jackpot-winning ticket.

The jackpot had been growing since one ticket matched all six winning numbers in the Jan. 28 drawing.

Lottery officials cannot confirm the identity of the jackpot winner until the prize is claimed and the ticket is validated. Match 6 winners have one year from the drawing date to claim prizes.

The Lottery encourages the holder of the winning ticket to sign the back of the ticket, call the Lottery at 717-702-8146 and file a claim at any of Lottery’s seven area offices or at Lottery headquarters in Middletown, Dauphin County.

Claims may be filed at Lottery headquarters Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at area offices.

More than 81,700 other Pennsylvania Lottery Match 6 players also won prizes in the March 21 drawing.

In the 2011-12 fiscal year, in addition to awarding more than $85.6 million in prizes to Delaware County winners, the Pennsylvania Lottery contributed more than $42.2 million to programs serving the county’s older residents.

How to Play Match 6 Lotto: Match 6 tickets cost $2 each. Players can choose six numbers from 1 to 49 or have numbers randomly selected by computer. The computer will then randomly select an additional two sets of six numbers, for three lines of six numbers each or 18 numbers total. Players can win up to four times on each ticket – once on each of three lines (base play) and by combining all 18 numbers (combined play).

Match 6 Lotto drawings are held on Monday and Thursday evenings.
