$135K winning Fast Play Jungle Jackpot ticket sold at Giant Eagle in Allegheny County

West Mifflin, PA – A Pennsylvania Lottery player scored a massive win after purchasing a Fast Play Jungle Jackpot ticket worth $135,461 at a Giant Eagle location in Allegheny County, lottery officials announced Tuesday.

The progressive top-prize ticket was sold Monday at the Giant Eagle store located at 9901 Mountainview Drive in West Mifflin Borough. As a result of the sale, the retailer will receive a $500 bonus.

Jungle Jackpot is a $5 Fast Play game offering progressive top prizes that start at $50,000 and grow with each ticket sold statewide until a top prize is won. Unlike traditional draw or scratch-off games, Fast Play tickets print instantly from lottery terminals or self-serve machines and can be checked on the spot for prizes.

The winner has not been publicly identified. To claim the prize, the ticket must be validated, and the player must contact the Pennsylvania Lottery directly. All Fast Play prizes must be claimed within one year of the purchase date.

The Lottery reminded players to sign the back of winning tickets and that any prizes over $5,000 are subject to applicable tax withholdings.

This latest jackpot adds to a streak of major wins across Pennsylvania as the Fast Play games continue to grow in popularity.
