The lucky winner matched all five balls pulled in the Saturday, Jan. 27 drawing for the Cash 5 with Quick Cash game to win $860,761.50, said officials. 

The Weis Market at 3825 Sullivan Trail will receive a $5,000 bonus check for having sold the winning slip, according to Pennsylvania Lottery representatives. 

The winner will not be identified until they claim their prize and their ticket is validated, officials said. Winners have up to one year from the drawing date to claim their prize, and all winners should contact their nearest Lottery office or call 1-800-692-7481 for instructions. 

More than 18,000 other players won prizes of some amount in Saturday's drawing, and officials say every player should double-check every ticket, every time.
