Online game earns Dauphin County player $116K in winnings, Pennsylvania Lottery reports
A lucky player in Dauphin County recently won a six-figure sum playing an online Pennsylvania Lottery game.
The winner’s prize was worth $115,857.65, the lottery said Friday. It came through Ca$tle Quest, an online connect-style game with a progressive jackpot.
The instant-win game asks players to enter a play amount between $0.50 and $30. When a round begins, players are tasked with matching identical symbols on a four-by-five grid to reveal certain symbols that can trigger bonus earnings, multipliers and extra games, including one that could activate a jackpot.
The overall chances of winning a Ca$tle Quest game are roughly 1 in 3.90, but the consolidated chances change drastically for different prize amounts. The consolidated odds of winning a $10,000 prize, for example, is about 1 in 2,000,000, according to the game’s rules.
The Pennsylvania Lottery’s online games, including Ca$tle Quest, are available on computers, tablets and mobile devices. Games tickets are also available for purchase at palottery.com or through the state lottery’s official app.
Pennsylvania is one of just 14 states that sells lottery products online.
March is Problem Gambling Awareness Month. Players in Pennsylvania can limit their gambling by setting budgets online, scheduling cool-off periods or self-excluding from online games, the state lottery said.
