$2.6 million lottery ticket unclaimed in Pennsylvania

Lottery officials in Pennsylvania are reminding players about an unclaimed $2.6 million jackpot ticket. This winning ticket was bought last year at a Shop ‘n Save grocery store in Murrysville. The ticket must be claimed by May 8, 2025. The winning ticket matched all five numbers: 14, 22, 33, 35, and 38. Lottery officials stress the importance of claiming prizes promptly. Although Pennsylvania allows players up to a year to claim, time is running out for this ticket. To make a claim, the winner should sign the back of the ticket. They can file a claim either by mail or in person at a lottery office. These offices are open from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. Lottery officials also noted low taxes on winnings in Pennsylvania. The state tax rate is 3.07%, which is lower than in New York and New Jersey. Two other lottery tickets in Pennsylvania have also gone unclaimed. One worth over $1 million was bought in Meadville, while another Mega Millions ticket sold in Camp Hill is also waiting to be claimed.
