Pennsylvania Lottery's Millionaire Raffle Drawing Creates Four New Millionaires

$5,089,200 in Total Prizes Awarded to 6,000 Winners

MIDDLETOWN, Pa., July 9, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Pennsylvania Lottery's Millionaire Raffle has created four new millionaires. The selection of four $1 million raffle ticket numbers and four $100,000 raffle ticket numbers was televised live on the Lottery's drawing show earlier this evening.

The four $1 million top-prize raffle ticket numbers selected were 00080193, 00486364, 00234540, and 00281933. The four $100,000 second-tier prize raffle ticket numbers selected were 00006344, 00149546, 00083473, 00106936. The remaining 5,992 winning raffle ticket numbers for third- and fourth-tier prizes were selected, but were not televised due to time constraints.

Players may check winning numbers beginning July 10 at www.palottery.com and at retailers. Winning raffle ticket numbers will be listed on the Lottery website by prize category in ascending order. The website will also feature a search function that allows players to enter their eight-digit raffle ticket numbers to determine if they hold winning tickets. In addition, every Lottery retailer has a ticket checker that permits players to scan their own tickets and find out if they are winners.

To be considered a winning ticket, the eight-digit number on a Millionaire Raffle ticket must exactly match a winning number selected in the raffle drawing, and all digits must appear in the same sequence as the winning number.

The $1 million top prizes must be claimed by presenting a winning ticket at Pennsylvania Lottery headquarters in Middletown, Dauphin County, or at any of the Lottery's seven area offices. Claims may be filed Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Lottery headquarters and from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at area offices.

Claims for the $100,000 prizes can be filed at any of the Lottery's seven area offices or at any licensed Pennsylvania Lottery retailer. Holders of Millionaire Raffle tickets worth $1,000 and $100 can claim winnings at local Lottery retailers.

This was the 12th Millionaire Raffle drawing. For a list of top-prize winners from previous Millionaire Raffle drawings, visit the Winners' Circle at www.palottery.com.
