Match 6 Jackpot Worth $1 Million Won in Beaver County

Middletown, PA – A Beaver County retailer sold the jackpot-winning Match 6 Lotto ticket worth $1 million from the July 6 drawing.

The ticket correctly matched all six winning numbers, 08-16-31-37-44-49, to win a jackpot of $1,000,000, less 25 percent federal withholding.

The retailer, Rite Aid, 813 Third Ave., New Brighton, earns a $5,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.

The identity of the jackpot winner cannot be confirmed 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 Lottery headquarters in Middletown, Dauphin County, or at any of Lottery’s seven area offices.

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 62,400 other Match 6 Lotto tickets also won prizes in the drawing. Players are reminded to check every ticket, every time. Lower-tier prizes may be claimed at Lottery retailers.

In the 2013-14 fiscal year, in addition to awarding more than $31.2 million in prizes to Beaver County winners, the Pennsylvania Lottery contributed more than $18.4 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.
