MIDDLETOWN, Pa., July 10 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Pennsylvania Lottery's Millionaire Raffle has created four new millionaires. The selection of four $1 million raffle ticket numbers and four $100,000 raffle ticket numbers was televised live on the Lottery's drawing show earlier this evening.

The four $1 million top-prize raffle ticket numbers selected were 00221060, 00107238, 00278251, and 00081227. The four $100,000 second-tier prize raffle ticket numbers selected were 00203999, 00499277, 00320394, and 00185898. The remaining 5,992 winning raffle ticket numbers for third- and fourth-tier prizes were selected, but were not televised due to time constraints.

Players may check winning numbers beginning July 11 at www.palottery.com and at retailers. Winning raffle ticket numbers will be listed on the Lottery website by prize category in ascending order. The website will also feature a search function that allows players to enter their eight-digit raffle ticket numbers to determine if they hold winning tickets. In addition, every Lottery retailer has a ticket checker that permits players to scan their own tickets and find out if they are winners.

To be considered a winning ticket, the eight-digit number printed on Millionaire Raffle tickets must match the eight-digit combination selected in the drawing, in the exact sequence in which it was selected.

The $1 million top prizes must be claimed by presenting a winning ticket at Pennsylvania Lottery headquarters in Middletown, Dauphin County, or at any of the Lottery's seven area offices. Claims may be filed Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Lottery headquarters and from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at area offices.

Claims for the $100,000 prizes can be filed at any of the Lottery's seven area offices or at any licensed Pennsylvania Lottery retailer. Holders of Millionaire Raffle tickets worth $1,000 and $100 can claim winnings at local Lottery retailers.

This was the 10th Millionaire Raffle drawing. For a list of top-prize winners from the previous nine Millionaire Raffle drawings, visit the winners' circle at www.palottery.com.
