Lottery officials said the holder of a top prize-winning Fast Play ticket should sign the back of the ticket and contact the Pennsylvania Lottery. Prizes must be claimed and tickets validated before winners are identified.
Fast Play prizes must be claimed within one year of the ticket purchase date. Lottery prizes exceeding $5,000 are subject to applicable withholding.
The identity of the winner has not been released.
