Westmoreland County player hits $153K jackpot playing PA Lottery’s online Extreme Green game

MIDDLETOWN, PA – A Pennsylvania Lottery player in Westmoreland County is starting the week more than $153,000 richer after scoring a major prize on the online game Extreme Green Banker’s Edition, lottery officials confirmed Tuesday.

The digital jackpot win totaled $153,215.23 and came through a connect-style gameplay session accessed through the Pennsylvania Lottery’s official website or mobile platform. The game features multiple ways to win, including instant cash prizes, free games, and a bonus round — along with a Mystery space that can trigger or boost winnings.

The Extreme Green Banker’s Edition game contributes to the “Unlocked Jackpot,” which begins at $50,000 and grows as players participate. It remains unclear whether the latest winner unlocked the bonus feature or connected a high-value chain of symbols.

Officials did not disclose the identity of the winner, citing standard lottery privacy practices, but confirmed the prize was won by an individual located in Westmoreland County.

Online lottery games in Pennsylvania are accessible via desktop, tablet or mobile device. In addition to instant games, users can purchase tickets for Powerball, Mega Millions, Treasure Hunt, Cash4Life, Match 6 Lotto, and PICK games. Subscriptions and game bundles are also available through the state’s official app or website.

The Pennsylvania Lottery continues to encourage responsible play and promotes all of its online offerings as part of its mission to generate funding for programs that benefit older Pennsylvanians.
