A big $1.9 million winning lottery ticket is sold out in Pottstown

One lucky customer left a Pottstown convenience store Tuesday with a winning lottery ticket worth $1.9 million, Pennsylvania Lottery officials say.

The Match 6 ticket sold at Pat’s Beverage on East High Street matched all six of the jackpot’s winning numbers -- 3-16-18-39-40-47.

For selling the prized ticket, the lottery will give the store a $10,000 bonus. Pat’s Beverage also made headlines in March after selling a Powerball ticket worth $150,000 with numbers matching four of the five white balls in the March 18 drawing.

Tuesday’s sale comes just two days after a $3 million scratch-off ticket was sold in Montgomery County at smoke shop Ace Tobacco Town.

The winner has to reach the nearest lottery headquarters for further documentation formalities and for claiming their winning prize money, lottery officials said.
