MIDDLETOWN, Pa. – A jackpot-winning Match 6 Lotto ticket worth $2.65 million sold by a Columbia, Lancaster County retailer for the Monday, September 21, drawing was the game’s highest jackpot win thus far during 2015.
The ticket correctly matched all six winning numbers, 10-14-15-16-23-25, to win a jackpot of $2,650,000, less 25 percent federal withholding. The jackpot had been growing since one ticket matched all six winning numbers in the July 6 drawing.
Stover’s News, 24 N. 3rd Street earns a $10,000 bonus for selling this winning ticket. The identity of the jackpot winner cannot be confirmed until the prize is claimed and the ticket is validated. Match 6 winners have one year from the drawing date to claim prizes.
The Lottery encourages the holder of the winning ticket to sign the back of the ticket, call the Lottery at (717) 702-8146 and file a claim at Lottery headquarters in Middletown or at any of Lottery’s seven area offices.

How to Play Match 6 Lotto: Match 6 tickets cost $2 each. Players can choose six numbers from 1 to 49 or have numbers randomly selected by computer. The computer will then randomly select an additional two sets of six numbers, for three lines of six numbers each or 18 numbers total. Players can win up to four times on each ticket – once on each of three lines (base play) and by combining all 18 numbers (combined play).
Match 6 Lotto drawings are held on Monday and Thursday evenings.
