A Pittsburgh customer walked out of a neighborhood doughnut shop last week with more than a sweet treat — they also scored a $400,000 Cash 5 jackpot.
According to Pennsylvania Lottery officials, a Cash 5 with Quick Cash ticket sold at Donut Connection on Brownsville Road in Carrick matched all five numbers in Friday’s drawing.
The Winning Details
- Prize: $400,000 (before taxes and withholdings).
- Claim window: The winner has one year from the drawing date to come forward.
- Location bonus: The shop will receive a $500 bonus for selling the ticket.
Lottery officials said the winner will not be identified until the ticket is validated.
Biggest Win Yet for the Shop
A Donut Connection staffer told reporters Monday that they were unaware of the jackpot winner. Until now, the largest win at the shop had been $5,000.
Other Winners
It wasn’t just one lucky ticket:
- 15,000+ players also won smaller prizes in Friday’s Cash 5 with Quick Cash drawing.
- In the main Cash 5 game:
- Match 2, 3, or 4 numbers = smaller cash prizes.
- In the Quick Cash add-on:
- 1 in 4.71 odds of instantly winning $2 or $6.
Odds of Winning
- Cash 5 jackpot odds: 1 in 962,598.
- Any Cash 5 prize: 1 in 10.5.
For one Pittsburgh doughnut-shop customer, those odds finally paid off.
