Middletown, PA – Players, check your tickets: a winning Pennsylvania Lottery Cash 5 ticket worth $125,000 that was sold in Montgomery County for the October 2, 2018, drawing will soon expire.
 
The unclaimed winning ticket was sold by SmoKings, 2894 DeKalb Pike, East Norriton. It correctly matched all five white balls drawn, 07-22-32-33-42, to win a prize of $125,000, less applicable tax withholding.
A prize claim must be filed with the Lottery by the end of the business day on Wednesday, October 2, 2019.
 
The Pennsylvania Lottery encourages claimants to sign the back of the ticket, call the Lottery at 1-800-692-7481 and file a timely claim at any of Lottery’s seven area offices or at Lottery headquarters in Middletown, Dauphin County. Claims may be filed Monday through Friday between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. at area Lottery offices and between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. at headquarters.
 
By law, unclaimed, expired lottery prizes remain in the Lottery Fund and are used to support programs benefiting older Pennsylvanians. Although some lotteries give players only 90 or 180 days to claim a prize, Pennsylvania Lottery draw game prizes may be claimed on a business day up to one year from the drawing date.
 
Players should check every ticket, every time, using self-service scanners found at retailers or with the Ticket Checker on the Lottery’s Official App. Sign tickets immediately for proof of ownership.
