PHILADELPHIA, Pa. — A Pennsylvania Lottery player in Philadelphia is holding a winning Cash 5 with Quick Cash ticket worth $1.5 million, officials announced Wednesday.

The ticket matched all five numbers drawn — 12, 22, 24, 32, 42 — in the Tuesday night drawing. It was sold at R Square Grocery, located at 4419 Princeton Avenue in Philadelphia. The retailer will receive a $10,000 bonus for selling the jackpot-winning ticket.

The winner has not yet come forward. Lottery officials said winners are not identified until prizes are claimed and tickets are validated. The jackpot must be claimed within one year of the drawing date.

In addition to the jackpot winner, more than 27,800 Cash 5 with Quick Cash players won prizes in the same drawing. The game features both the standard Cash 5 draw and a Quick Cash component with instant win possibilities.

Players are encouraged to check all tickets. For further instructions on claiming the prize, ticket holders should contact a Lottery office or call 1-800-692-7481.
