Executive Director of the Pennsylvania Lottery Ed Mahlman said the Lottery decided to reward loyal Super 6 players by rolling down the jackpot prize into lower tiers for the final drawing.
"Players who won $3,818.50 for matching five-of-six numbers drawn last Tuesday tonight had a chance to take home a prize more than 18 times that, a result of this roll-down," said Mahlman. "Super 6 has developed a loyal player base over the past five years, and we're happy to provide this exciting bonus to those loyal players as we retire the game."
Super 6 sales from the game's Sept. 6, 1998 inception through this evening total $1,032,873,747. Since about 37 cents from every Lottery sales dollar is dedicated to funding programs for older Pennsylvanians, Super 6 Lotto generated more than $382 million for the Commonwealth's older residents.
