Fast Play ticket worth more than 116000 sold in Westmoreland County

Middletown, PA – A Pennsylvania Lottery player who purchased a Fast Play ticket in Westmoreland County is holding a progressive top prize worth $116,503 after the winning ticket was sold Tuesday, lottery officials announced.

The winning Lightning Loot ticket was sold at Pop ‘N Brew Super Store, located at 260 East Main St. in Mount Pleasant Township. The retailer will receive a $500 bonus for selling the top prize-winning ticket.

Lightning Loot is a $5 Fast Play game that offers progressive top prizes starting at $50,000. Fast Play tickets print on demand from a lottery sales terminal or self service touchscreen vending terminal. The games are similar to Scratch-Off tickets but do not require scratching or waiting for a drawing.

Players can determine if they have won by reviewing the printed ticket or scanning it at a lottery retailer or by using the Ticket Checker feature on the Pennsylvania Lottery’s official app.

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.

One ticket printed at a Westmoreland County store has now turned into a six figure payday for a Pennsylvania Lottery player.
