It happened at Stroud Smoke Shop, 1115 North 9th St., lotto representatives said. The lucky winner matched all five balls pulled in the Monday, March 6 Cash 5 with Quick Cash drawing to walk away with $600,000 before taxes, they added.
Stroud Smoke Shop is now slated to receive a $5,000 bonus check for selling the prize-winning slip, officials said.
More than 18,000 other Pennsylvanians won prizes of some amount in the Monday drawing, and every player should double-check their ticket every time. Winners should immediately sign the back of their slip and contact their nearest Pennsylvania Lottery office.
