A jackpot-winning Pa Lottery ticket was sold Tuesday, May 12, at a Sheetz store in Cambria County. The Fast Play ticket, called Win Pigs Fly, hit a progressive jackpot worth $300,454.
The winning ticket was bought at Sheetz on Magee Avenue in Patton, and the store will receive a $500 bonus for selling it. Win Pigs Fly is a $10 Fast Play game with top prizes starting at $150,000, giving the small-town win a bigger payoff than the game’s base prize level might suggest.
The sale adds another local win to a busy lottery stretch in Pennsylvania. On the same day, the Mega Millions jackpot was estimated at $232 million, and on Wednesday, May 13, the Powerball jackpot was estimated at $69 million.
The immediate answer for players looking at the Patton ticket is simple: the jackpot was claimed in Cambria County, and the store that sold it gets a bonus. What remains for everyone else is the same question that follows every lottery headline — who, if anyone, held the winning ticket and comes forward next.
