Middletown, PA – One Pennsylvania Lottery Cash4Life™ ticket sold in Chester County for the Thursday, May 10, drawing won a prize of $1,000 a week for life, or $1 million cash.
 
The ticket correctly matched all five balls drawn, 11-36-41-43-48, but not the green Cash Ball, 04, to win an annuity prize valued at $52,000 a year for life, or a cash prize of $1 million, less applicable tax withholding.
 
The selling retailer, Thorndale Beverage, 65 N. Bailey Road, Thorndale, earns a $5,000 bonus.
 
The prize must be claimed and the ticket validated before the winner can be identified. Cash4Life winners have one year from the drawing date to claim prizes.
 
The holder of any annuity prize-winning ticket should immediately sign the back of the ticket, call the Lottery at 717-702-8146 and file a claim at Lottery headquarters in Middletown, Dauphin County. Claims may be filed Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
 
More than 10,000 other Cash4Life tickets won prizes of various amounts in the drawing. Players should check every ticket, every time. Lower-tier prizes may be claimed at a Lottery retailer.
 
Last fiscal year, Lottery players in Chester County won more than $56.9 million and programs that benefit older residents received more than $20.9 million in Lottery funds.
