BRISTOL — A jackpot-winning Cash 5 ticket valued at nearly $345,000 was sold Saturday at Bristol's Selecto Supermarket on Pond Street, the Pennsylvania Lottery said Monday. As of Monday afternoon no one had claimed the winnings, lottery officials said. But Maribel Maldonado, office manager at the supermarket, said one of Selecto's regular customers was the lucky guy. "I think he's still shocked," she said. "He said he couldn't sleep the night he saw the numbers." Maldonado said she didn't know the man's name. But she said his lucky numbers — 12, 16, 22, 29 and 40 — were picked by computer. The man paid $1 for the ticket.

Morato said if the bettors don’t want the machine to pick the 6 digit combination for them they just have to “maintain ” their special numbers since the game is heavily all about luck. The odds of getting the 6 digit combination in 6-55 correctly is 1 in 28,989,675, which is greater than the odds of becoming a saint at 1 in 20,000,000 but less than the chance of dying from a mountain lion attack in California which is 1 in 32,000,000. If you get 5 winning numbers, you will win P150,000. The chances of getting the 5 correct numbers out of 55 is 1 in 3,478,761. This is close to the chance of dying from legal execution which is 1 in 3,441,325 but greater than the odds of being killed by lightning which is 2,320,000 to 1. If you get 4 correct digits, the prize money is P2,000. The chances of getting 4 numbers out of 55 is 1 in 341,055. This is a little lower than the chance of dying from choking on food which is 1 in 370,035 and also lower than the chance of dying in an airpl
