$5 million-winning lottery ticket sold at Hollywood Casino
A $5 million-winning Five Million Fabulous Fortune Scratch-Off ticket has been sold at the Hollywood Casino at the Meadows, the Pennsylvania Lottery reported Friday.
The casino will receive a $10,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.
“We’ve never sold anything like that before,” said Rahul Kaushik, vice president of operations for the Hollywood Casino at the Meadows. “It’s a life-changing number, for sure.”
He also said the casino would be interested in hosting a celebration for the lucky winner, but that their life will be “a little topsy-turvy” for a while as a result of their windfall.
Five Million Fabulous Fortune is a $50 game that offers top prizes of $5 million. More information is available about the game at palottery.state.pa.us.
Scratch-off prizes expire one year from the game’s end-sale date posted at palottery.com. Winners should immediately sign the back of their ticket and contact the Lottery at 1-800-692-7481. Scratch-offs are distributed at random, which means the Pennsylvania Lottery and its retailers do not know where winning tickets will be sold.
