A fortunate resident from Lackawanna County scoops a big jackpot recently

A Pennsylvania Lottery retailer in Lackawanna County sold a Powerball with Double Play ticket worth $500,000.

The ticket matched five of the five Double Play balls on the May 20 drawing, 5-38-39-41-69, but not the Double Play Powerball number 25, to win $500,000.

Tobacco King on Northern Boulevard in South Abington Township will earn a $500 bonus for selling the winning ticket.

Winners are not known until prizes are claimed and tickets are validated. Pennsylvania Lottery Powerball winners have one year from the drawing date to claim prizes.

Winning tickets purchased at a Lottery retailer should immediately be signed on the back.
