Sheetz shopper scores $50K in first Pennsylvania Lottery raffle drawing

$50K winning ticket sold at Sheetz in Plains Township in Pennsylvania Lottery’s Millionaire Raffle

MIDDLETOWN, PA — A lucky Pennsylvania Lottery player is walking away with $50,000 after purchasing a winning Millionaire Raffle ticket at a Sheetz location in Luzerne County as part of the first weekly drawing in the lead-up to the New Year’s Millionaire Raffle.

The winning ticket number, 00009054, was selected from more than 48,400 entries sold between November 4 and November 10. The ticket was purchased at the Sheetz located at 1233 Highway 315 Boulevard in Plains Township.

This prize is one of two $50,000 weekly awards drawn each week for eight weeks, building up to the grand prize Millionaire Raffle drawing scheduled for January 3.

Winners of the $50,000 prize must claim their winnings in person at a Pennsylvania Lottery office and cannot redeem the ticket at a retailer or by mail. Each raffle ticket remains eligible for the January 3 drawing, even if it already won a weekly prize.

Players can check their tickets using the official PA Lottery mobile app or at authorized retailers. A full schedule of the remaining weekly drawings is available at palottery.com.
