York County Retailer Sells Winning $699K Lottery Ticket

MIDDLETOWN, PA – In a stroke of luck for one lottery player, a Fast Play ticket from the Pennsylvania Lottery’s Strike it Rich game, carrying a progressive top prize of $699,035.50, was sold in York County on February 5. The winning ticket found its home at Royal Farms, located at 1170 Loucks Road, West York, which is set to receive a $5,000 bonus for its role in selling the lucky ticket.

Fast Play games, including Strike it Rich, are designed for instant gratification, akin to Scratch-Off games but without the need for scratching or waiting for a draw. These $20 tickets are generated on-demand from lottery sales terminals or self-service touch-screen vending machines, offering progressive top prizes that start at $350,000.

Players can quickly determine if they’ve won by reviewing their tickets or scanning them at a Lottery retailer. The Pennsylvania Lottery also offers a Ticket Checker feature on its Official App for added convenience. Winners, especially those holding top prize tickets like the recent York County find, are advised to sign the back of their ticket immediately and contact the Lottery at 1-800-692-7481 to claim their prize.
