Two Pennsylvania Lottery players in Philadelphia each picked the five winning numbers in the Monday, March 13 Lottery Cash 5 drawing, state officials say.
Both lucky players selected the same sequence of digits — 12-21-27-34-37 — to win the $350,000 jackpot in the drawing, lottery representatives said. What's more, both players bought their tickets in the city's Northeast section, about a 10-minute from each other.
They will each receive a $175,000 prize, minus taxes, lotto reps said.
The two vendors, the 9377 Krewstown Road Wawa and the 7265 Castor Avenue Sunoco, will each receive a $500 bonus for selling the winning slips, officials added.
More than 10,000 other Pennsylvanians won prizes of some amount in the Monday drawing, and all players are urged to double-check their tickets every time. Winning players should sign the back of their ticket immediately and contact their nearest state lottery office.
