Middletown, PA – The Cash4Life® multi-state game has awarded its second $1 million prize in Pennsylvania in less than two weeks.
 
A Pennsylvania Lottery Cash4Life ticket sold in Westmoreland County for the Monday, May 21, drawing won a prize of $1,000 a week for life, or $1 million cash.
 
The ticket correctly matched all five balls drawn, 08-18-22-37-44, but not the green Cash Ball, 01, to win an annuity prize valued at $52,000 a year for life, or a cash prize of $1 million, less applicable tax withholding.
 
The selling retailer, Valero, 171 Wendel Road, Irwin, earns a $5,000 bonus.
