Someone who visits the Murrysville Shop’n Save is holding a Pennsylvania Lottery ticket worth more than $2.6 million, and time is running out to claim the prize.
Lottery officials said Monday that a winning ticket from the May 8 Cash 5 with Quick Pick drawing remains unclaimed. Lottery winners have a year to claim a winning ticket.
The ticket was sold at the Murrysville Shop’n Save on William Penn Highway and matched all five balls drawn, 14-22-33-35-38. The total prize money is $2,628,337 less withholding.
Lottery officials encourage claimants to sign the back of winning tickets and file a timely claim by calling 800-692-7481. All lottery offices are open to the public from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The Pittsburgh office is at 1424 Western Ave. on the city’s North Side and serves Allegheny, Beaver, Fayette, Greene, Lawrence, Washington and Westmoreland counties.
By law, unclaimed, expired lottery prizes remain in the state Lottery Fund and are used to support programs benefiting older Pennsylvanians. Although some lotteries give players only 90 or 180 days to claim a prize, Pennsylvania Lottery Draw Game prizes may be claimed up to one year from the drawing date.
