A winning Cash 5 lottery ticket was sold at Giant in Pottsville for Saturday's drawing.

The lucky person who has the winning ticket matched all five balls, 26-28-29-30-32, for a prize of $276,270.50, minus 25 percent federal taxes.

There were three winners who matched all five numbers Saturday. The other two tickets were sold at Rite Aid, 20 S. River St., Plains, Luzerne County, and ACME Market, 320 W. DeKalb Pike, King of Prussia, Montgomery County, according to the Pennsylvania Lottery.

A media relations employee from the Pennsylvania Lottery could not be reached for comment Monday.

The identity of the winners was not available Monday on the lottery's website page for the Cash 5 drawing at www.palottery.state.pa.us/games/cash-5.

Probability of matching all five numbers is 1 in 962,598, according to the lottery website.

Dan Holley, store manager at Giant, said the store at 500 Progress Avenue was notified Monday that they sold a winning ticket.

"It's a lucky store," Holley said. He did not know the identity of the winner.

For selling the winning ticket, each retailer receives a $500 selling bonus.

In addition to the three winning tickets, at least 67,300 other tickets also won prizes.

Winners have one year to claim their prize from the date of the drawing. A claim form must be submitted. Those who win more than $2,500 will receive a check in the mail.
