Pennsylvania Sheetz shopper wins nearly $700K on lottery ticket

Centre County player hits $699K jackpot on Fast Play ticket sold at Sheetz

PATTON TOWNSHIP, PA – A Pennsylvania Lottery player has scored a progressive jackpot worth $699,652 after purchasing a winning Fast Play Cash Kingdom ticket on Monday at a Sheetz store in Centre County.

The lucky ticket was sold at the Sheetz located at 101 Valley Vista Drive in Patton Township, which will now receive a $5,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket. The win came from the Cash Kingdom game, a $30 Fast Play game offering progressive top prizes that start at $500,000 and increase with each ticket sold until someone claims the jackpot.

Unlike traditional scratch-off tickets or draw games, Fast Play games are printed instantly from a terminal or vending machine and reveal instantly whether the ticket is a winner. Players can check their tickets in-store or use the official Lottery app to confirm winnings.

The winner has not yet been publicly identified, pending the validation and claim process. As required, the ticket must be signed and submitted to the Lottery for verification before the prize can be awarded. All Pennsylvania Lottery prizes over $5,000 are subject to state and federal tax withholding.

Winners have one year from the date of purchase to claim their prize. The Pennsylvania Lottery continues to urge players to immediately sign the back of any winning tickets to protect against loss or theft.

The Cash Kingdom jackpot is one of the largest Fast Play prizes awarded in recent months, continuing the game’s reputation for high-value instant wins across the state.
