A lucky lottery player has a year to claim either $1,000 a week for life or a $1 million prize, according to the Pennsylvania Lottery.

The winner played the Cash4Life multi-state lottery game on Feb. 19 and won by matching all five balls drawn: 13, 21, 29, 38 and 57. The player did not, however, get the green Cash Ball, costing them the grand prize of $1,000 a day for life.

The winning ticket was sold at Latrobe Shop ‘n Save in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. The store will earn a $10,000 bonus as a result.

The player is the 18th $1 million prize winner in Pennsylvania since the state joined the game in 2015.

Cash4Life has a top prize of $1,000 a day for life, and a second-tier prize of $1,000 a week ($52,000 annually) for life, minus taxes. Winners of the $1,000 a week prize can also choose the up-front $1 million prize.

The game is played in Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Maryland, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Virginia.

Latrobe is about a 40 mile drive southeast from Pittsburgh.

Many people can gamble or play games of chance without harm. However, for some, gambling is an addiction that can ruin lives and families.

If you or a loved one shows signs of gambling addiction, you can seek help by calling the national gambling hotline at 1-800-522-4700 or visiting the National Council on Problem Gambling website.
