Middletown, PA – The Cash4Life® multi-state game has awarded its eighth $1 million prize in Pennsylvania since the Pennsylvania Lottery joined the game in April 2015.
 
The Cash4Life® winning-ticket worth $1,000 a week for life, or $1 million cash, was sold in Cambria County for the Friday, August 23 drawing.
 
The ticket correctly matched all five balls drawn, 18-34-37-45-55, but not the green Cash Ball, 04, 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, Quaker Steak & Lube, 1425 Scalp Ave., Johnstown, earns a $5,000 bonus.
 
Since 2015, Cash4Life® has generated more than $106.4 million in sales and players have won more than $39.6 million in prizes. Cash4Life® is also played in surrounding states, including New York, New Jersey, Maryland and Virginia.
 
Prizes must be claimed and tickets validated before winners can be identified. Cash4Life® winners have one year from the drawing date to claim prizes.
 
The holder of any annuity prize-winning ticket should immediately sign the back of the ticket, call the Lottery at 717-702-8146 and file a claim at Lottery headquarters in Middletown, Dauphin County. Claims may be filed Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
