If the store holds a winning ticket in the mistake pile, it is entitled to claim the winnings.
Seltzer arrived at her Acme shift at the customer service desk a few hours after the transaction that produced the mistake ticket. The Match 6 drawing occurred at 7 p.m. About an hour later, Seltzer scanned through the mistake pile and found the winning ticket, a practice she had done in the past.
Instead of leaving the ticket to be processed by the store coordinator, Seltzer took $10 from her purse and rang up a transaction for the same price as the customer s original, canceled purchase of the tickets. She was still on the clock at the time and never consulted with anyone at Acme about purchasing the mistake ticket. She signed the back of the ticket and submitted it to the Pennsylvania Lottery.

BUCKS COUNTY, PA How has the COVID-19 pandemic impacted local animal shelters?
The Bucks County SPCA, which operates two animal shelters in Quakertown and Lahaska, is reporting fewer adoptions this year, which is largely due to the fact that the SPCA has rescued fewer animals this year, according to Communications Director Cindy Kelly.
In 2019, 545 animals were rescued by BCSPCA Humane Police Officers, Kelly said. In 2020, that number has dropped to 261 animals so far this year.
Trish Hartman reports from snow-covered Doylestown, Pa. on December 16, 2020. We shut down by 5 p.m. because my drivers couldn t drive. The situation was too dangerous, said Privitera.
For many, the day was about cleaning up and digging out, but for the kids in Doylestown who had off from school, they flocked to the sledding hill near the Mercer Museum. They say it s the perfect place to spend a much-needed snow day. They were very excited to have a snow day and not be on their iPads all day long, said Sara Taylor of Doylestown, who was out sledding with her two children.
