PHILADELPHIA, PA — A Pennsylvania Lottery player struck it big on Wednesday with a $1,333,887 win from a Fast Play “Diamonds and Gold” ticket purchased in Philadelphia.

The progressive top-prize ticket was sold at the Shell gas station at 2901 West Abbottsford Avenue. The retailer will receive a $10,000 bonus for selling the jackpot-winning ticket.

The $30 “Diamonds and Gold” game is part of the Lottery’s Fast Play category, offering progressive jackpots that increase with each ticket sold until a top prize is won. The game’s top prize resets to $500,000 after each jackpot hit.

Unlike traditional Scratch-Offs or draw games, Fast Play tickets print immediately at the point of sale and can be checked instantly using the Lottery’s app or ticket scanners available at retail locations. Players are encouraged to sign winning tickets immediately and contact the Lottery at 1-800-692-7481 for claims over $5,000.

All Fast Play prizes must be claimed within one year of purchase. The Pennsylvania Lottery reminds winners that all prizes exceeding $5,000 are subject to state and federal tax withholdings.

The Lottery continues to promote its Fast Play line as a quick and convenient way to win prizes without the need to scratch or wait for drawing results.
