How to Claim a Cash 5 Lottery Prize
Take your winning ticket to a PA Lottery Games retailer to validate. The retailer may pay valid lottery prizes up to and including $2,500 per ticket. If the Lottery payout is over $600, you must complete a claim form. You must also file a claim form for any winning Lottery ticket older than 180 days and greater than $100.

*For each drawing, 50 percent of CASH 5 gross sales is allocated to the total prize pool. After the fourth prizes are deducted from the prize pool, the remaining prize money is allocated to the first, second, and third prize categories and then divided equally among the winners in each category. Example: If there is only one winner, that person wins the entire prize category amount; if there are 10 winners, the prize category amount is divided into 10 equal shares.
