In a stroke of luck just in time for the New Year, the Pennsylvania Lottery has announced the winners of its latest $50,000 Weekly Drawing prizes, part of the exciting New Year’s Millionaire Raffle. The raffle is gaining momentum in Bell Township and surrounding areas, as residents eagerly anticipate the grand drawing scheduled for January 6, 2024.
The winning ticket numbers, 00300676 and 00269987, emerged victorious in the sixth weekly drawing of this series. These tickets were randomly selected from over 66,100 entries sold between December 12 and December 18, 2023. Demonstrating the widespread excitement for the Lottery in our community, the winning tickets were sold at Sunoco Food Mart in Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, and Giant Eagle in Latrobe, Westmoreland County. This remarkable event has brought a wave of excitement to both counties, particularly as the countdown to the grand drawing begins.
For those holding onto their tickets, hope remains high. The Pennsylvania Lottery encourages participants to check their tickets using the official app or at a local lottery retailer. Remember, if you’re holding onto one of these lucky tickets, it’s important to claim your prize in person at a Pennsylvania Lottery office – these $50,000 prizes are too significant to be claimed by mail or at a retailer.
But don’t rush to discard your tickets after the weekly draw. In an interesting twist, the same ticket can win in both the weekly and the grand drawing. As we approach January 6, there’s a palpable buzz in the air. Will Bell Township see one of its own claim the top prize?
The New Year’s Millionaire Raffle is no small event. With only 500,000 tickets available for the grand drawing, which features an impressive array of prizes totaling over $5 million, participants are in for a thrilling start to 2024. The drawing will award four $1 million prizes, four $100,000 prizes, 100 prizes of $1,000, and 5,892 prizes of $100. It’s a testament to the community’s spirit and optimism as residents dream big and hope for a prosperous new year.
It’s not just about the thrill of winning, though. The Pennsylvania Lottery stands unique as the only state lottery that dedicates all its proceeds to programs benefiting older residents. Since its inception in 1972, it has contributed over $35.1 billion to valuable services like property tax and rent rebates, transportation, care services, and local senior centers. This commitment to the community adds a layer of meaning to each ticket purchased.
