Suburban ticket bags $345,000 in Cash 5 lottery

Let's see how long you can keep answering yes.

Did you buy a Cash 5 ticket for the June 18 drawing?

Did you buy it in Bucks County?

In Bristol?

How about at the Selecto Supermarket at 320 Pond St.?

If you're still with us, one more question:

Did it have the numbers 12, 16, 22, 29 and 40?

If so, you and only you won $344,881, minus taxes, according to the Pennsylvania Lottery.

Wait ... more recent winners! Three other Cash 5 tickets, all purchased this side of Harrisburg, are still out there, despite being worth, oh, a third of million dollars or so.

Each.

The June 15 winner matched all the numbers - 1, 5, 26, 35 and 36 - to earn $332,928.50, before taxes. It was purchased at the Giant Food Store, 1278 S. Market St., Elizabethtown, Lancaster County.

Two tickets, bought in Philadelphia and Lansdale, for the June 8 drawings are worth even more: $379,936 apiece. They matched all five numbers - 3, 15, 19, 27 and 41 - but have yet to claim the prize, according to the lottery.

The purchase locations: CNBC News, Terminal C, Philadelphia International Airport, and Friendly Food Mart, 801 W. Main St., Lansdale.

The two other winners that day already put in for their dough, after buying tickets at Philly Donut, 6508 Woodland Ave., in Southwest Philadelphia, and at Tom's Tobacco Shop, 1880 Stefko Blvd., Bethlehem.
