Winning $1.8 Million Match 6 Lotto Ticket Sold at Cambria Township Walmart
A Walmart in Cambria Township has sold a winning Pennsylvania Lottery ticket worth $1.8 million for the September 16 Match 6 Lotto drawing, turning an ordinary trip to the store into a life-changing moment for one lucky buyer. The retailer, located at 300 Walmart Drive, will also receive a $10,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.
The winning numbers drawn for the game were 13-22-32-38-42-48. While the identity of the winner has not been released, lottery officials confirmed that the prize remains unclaimed as of the latest update. The winner is expected to remain anonymous until the prize is formally claimed and validated.
How to Claim a Match 6 Lotto Prize
Match 6 Lotto winners have one year from the drawing date to claim their prizes, so the Cambria Township winner still has time ahead. However, lottery officials strongly advise anyone who purchased a winning ticket to take immediate steps to protect it.
Important: Players who hold a winning ticket should sign the back of it immediately. Those who purchase tickets through the Pennsylvania Lottery’s online platform will see their winnings automatically deposited into their account once the claim is processed.
This practical advice applies to all lottery winners in Pennsylvania, not just those involved in the Cambria Township drawing. Signing the ticket provides a critical layer of protection in the event it is lost or stolen before the prize is claimed.
About the Match 6 Lotto Game
Match 6 Lotto is one of the Pennsylvania Lottery’s most popular draw games, offering players the chance to win substantial prizes by matching a set of six numbers. The September 16 drawing demonstrates the game’s capacity to produce significant, life-altering wins — even when the jackpot reaches the multi-million-dollar range.
| Drawing Date | Winning Numbers | Top Prize | Retailer Bonus |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sept. 16 | 13-22-32-38-42-48 | $1.8 Million | $10,000 |
More Than Just the Jackpot: Other Winners in the Drawing
While the $1.8 million prize captured the spotlight, it is worth noting that more than 48,600 other Match 6 Lotto tickets won prizes in the same September 16 drawing. This highlights an often-overlooked reality of lottery games: the vast majority of players who hold winning tickets walk away with smaller but meaningful payouts.
Lottery officials used the occasion to remind players to check every ticket after each drawing. Even tickets that do not hit the jackpot can still yield returns, and many winners in Pennsylvania miss out simply because they never verified their numbers.
Tips to Maximize Your Chances of Claiming Winnings
- Always double-check your ticket numbers against the official drawing results, regardless of how small your wager may have been.
- Sign the back of any winning ticket immediately upon discovery.
- Keep your ticket in a safe, secure location until you are ready to claim your prize.
- If you play online through the Pennsylvania Lottery portal, ensure your account information is up to date so winnings can be processed without delay.
The Pennsylvania Lottery’s Broader Impact on Senior Programs
Beyond individual wins, the Pennsylvania Lottery holds a distinctive distinction: it is the only state lottery in the nation that directs all of its proceeds to programs benefiting older residents. Since ticket sales began in 1972, the lottery has contributed more than $38.2 billion to fund essential services across the state.
These funded programs include:
- Transportation services for seniors who need assistance getting to medical appointments, grocery stores, and community events.
- Prescription assistance programs that help older adults afford necessary medications.
- Senior centers that provide social engagement, recreational activities, and support services for aging Pennsylvanians.
This commitment gives every Pennsylvania Lottery ticket — winning or not — a broader civic significance. Players in the state are contributing, in part, to a comprehensive network of services designed to improve the quality of life for older adults.
