If you purchased a Cash 5 with Quick Cash ticket in Delaware County for the Pennsylvania Lottery, then you may need to pull it out and see if you won the jackpot!
The Pennsylvania Lottery announced that a $200,000 jackpot-winning ticket for the Monday, March 18 drawing was sold in Delaware County.
The jackpot-winning ticket
For the March 18 drawing, the five numbers drawn were 5, 13, 14, 35, and 42. The winning ticket matched all five numbers drawn and won the jackpot for that night, which stood at $200,000.
The ticket was purchased at Brewers Outlet on 535 Church Lane in Yeadon. For selling the winning ticket, Brewers Outlet will earn a $500 bonus from the Pennsylvania Lottery.
In addition to the jackpot winner, the lottery announced that more than 8,500 other Cash 5 with Quick Cash tickets also won prizes in the March 18 drawing. Players are reminded to check every ticket every time and make sure to claim those lower-tier prizes at a lottery retailer.
Claiming your winning ticket deadline
For this $200,000 jackpot, the winner can only be identified after they claim their prize and the ticket is validated. Winners in the main Cash 5 game have one year from the drawing date to claim their winnings. Winners in the Quick Cash game must claim their winnings within one year of the purchase date.
If you happen to be the lucky Cash 5 with Quick Cash jackpot winner, you should contact the nearest lottery office for further instructions or call 1-800-692-7481.
Cash 5 with Quick Cash — how does it work?
Cash 5 with Quick Cash is a daily draw game for the Pennsylvania Lottery. The drawings are held every night at 6:59 p.m. ET.
To play, players pick five numbers between 1 and 43, or you can use the Quick Pick option for the computer to select five numbers for you. Players have the option to play up to seven consecutive draws in advance for those same numbers. Each play costs $2, which includes the main Cash 5 drawing and one Quick Cash game.
Players must match all five numbers drawn to win the Cash 5 jackpot. Players can also win prizes for matching two, three, or four winning numbers.
Quick Cash is an instant game that gives players a chance to win $2 or $6. For every Cash 5 ticket purchased, players also get a Quick Cash play printed on a separate ticket. When any of your numbers match any winning number in the same Quick Cash game, win the prize shown for that game. The chances of winning a Quick Cash game are separate from the chances of winning the main Cash 5 game.
The jackpot for the Cash 5 main game is 44% of the prize money pool, with the minimum value being $150,000. There are four prize levels to win at, ranging from $2 up to the jackpot.
Enjoy playing the Pennsylvania Lottery, and please remember to play responsibly.
