LOWER MACUNGIE TWP., Pa. — A Lehigh County Giant grocery store just sold another winning scratch-off lottery ticket.

This time, it was a Lion's Share lottery ticket worth $5 million.

The ticket costs $50 to play and offers five top prizes of $5 million — with a 1 in 1,320,000 chance of winning one of them.

The winner has been identified, but the person's name has not been released.

The winner has been identified, a spokesperson confirmed, but the person's name has not been released.

The game now has two $5 million prizes remaining, but winners could be out there that haven't been claimed yet, the spokesperson said.

Players in Wayne and Delaware counties won the first two $5 million jackpots in January and May, according to news releases from the Pennsylvania Lottery.

The Giant grocery store at 7150 Hamilton Blvd. will get a $10,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.

It's the first million-dollar win in Lehigh County in two years.

Anton R. took home the most recent multi-million dollar win in Lehigh County in September 2023 from a scratch off, according to the Pennsylvania Lottery winners map.

The last big prize sold in Lehigh County was a Cash 5 ticket worth $818,612, also from a Giant grocery store.

Pennsylvania Lottery recommends winners immediately sign the back of their ticket and call the lottery at 1-800-692-7481 before the prizes expire.

Unclaimed prizes remain in the Lottery Fund and are used to support programs that benefit older Pennsylvanians, such as senior centers and property tax and rent rebates.
