On Thursday, the Pennsylvania Lottery announced that the Quick Cash ticket was sold at the supermarket in suburban Pittsburgh.
The winning numbers are 14, 22, 33, 35, 38.
Shop ‘n Save will receive a $10,000 prize from ticket sales, according to the lottery.
The Murrysville grocery store is still enjoying the prize from another jackpot that was claimed at its store in January.
Earlier this year, one lucky player won $1.8 million after purchasing a ticket from the store.
More life-changing awards were won across the country.
In Delaware, one lucky player won $50,000 but only received $1,470 of the winnings.
This is because the player shares the prize with his work colleagues, who have been playing the lottery together for years.
HARD DECISION
Lottery players must recognize that they will have a difficult decision to make if they win a prize.
This is because winners must choose to receive their winnings in a lump sum or through annuity payments.

Most players opt for the fixed amount because they can receive the full prize in one go.
However, the actual prize ends up being halved because of taxes and fees.
To win more jackpot, players can choose decades of annuity payments.
But this can be annoying due to annual tax returns.
Overall, financial experts recommend that players opt for a fixed amount.
However, winners should always have a plan before accepting their winnings.
It’s crucial to hire an accountant and financial planner for clear guidance on how to manage your money.
Another player won $450,000, but no one claimed the prize.
Remember to gamble responsibly
A responsible player is someone who:
- Set time and monetary limits before playing
- Only games with money they can lose
- Never chase your losses
- Don’t play if you are upset, irritated or depressed
