$798K-Winning Lottery Ticket Sold In Roxborough

ROXBOROUGH, PHILADELPHIA — A Pennsylvania Lottery ticket sold at a Roxborough business was good for more than three-quarters of a million dollars, officials said.

A Deep Pockets game ticket sold May 1 at Mason Grocery, 353 Lyceum Ave. in Roxborough, won $798,244, according to the lottery.

Mason Grocery will receive a $5,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.

Deep Pockets is a $20 Fast Play game that offers progressive top prizes starting at $350,000.

Fast Play games print on-demand from a lottery sales terminal or self-service touchscreen vending terminal and are similar to Scratch-Off games, but without the need to scratch a ticket or wait for a drawing.

To see if they’ve won a prize, players can review the ticket, or scan it at a lottery retailer or with the Ticket Checker feature on the lottery’s official app.

The holder of a top prize-winning Fast Play ticket should immediately sign the back of the ticket and call the Lottery at 1-800-692-7481.

Prizes must be claimed, and tickets validated, before winners can be identified.

Fast Play prizes must be claimed within one year of the ticket purchase date.

All lottery prizes more than $5,000 are subject to applicable withholding.
