Shaler Township residents have cause for celebration after a local Shop ’n Save became the point of sale for a $1.8 million Match 6 Lotto jackpot. The winning ticket was purchased at the store located at 1620 Babcock Boulevard, and the Pennsylvania Lottery confirmed that it matched every one of the six numbers drawn on Thursday, June 16.
Winning numbers and prize details
The numbers that secured the jackpot were 12‑13‑14‑19‑23‑47. In addition to the $1.8 million prize, the Lottery awards a $10,000 bonus to the retailer that sold the winning ticket, meaning Shop ’n Save will receive a direct financial benefit for its role in the community’s excitement.
Claim process and timeline
The ticket holder has one year from the drawing date to claim the prize. Lottery officials advise winners to contact the Pennsylvania Lottery’s claims department and to bring proper identification and the ticket itself. Unclaimed prizes revert to the state after the deadline expires.
Impact on the local community
Beyond the headline‑grabbing jackpot, the $10,000 bonus will be added to Shop ’n Save’s operating budget. Store management indicated the funds will support local charitable initiatives and could be used to enhance store services for families in the area. This aligns with the community‑first spirit that many western Pennsylvania businesses strive to uphold.
Other winners from the same draw
The June 16 Match 6 drawing produced more than 50,700 additional winning tickets, ranging from modest cash prizes to larger secondary awards. While the $1.8 million ticket captured most of the attention, the broad distribution of smaller prizes underscores the Lottery’s role in providing everyday excitement for Pennsylvanians.
What this means for shoppers
For residents of Shaler Township and the greater Allegheny County area, the story serves as a reminder that everyday locations—like a neighborhood grocery store—can become the backdrop for life‑changing moments. The Lottery encourages players to purchase tickets responsibly and to view the game as entertainment rather than a financial strategy.
Looking ahead
The Pennsylvania Lottery will continue its regular schedule of drawings, with the next Match 6 draw slated for early July. Officials say they remain committed to funding education and community programs throughout the Commonwealth, a mission supported by the proceeds from ticket sales.
