One player matched all six winning numbers drawn in Friday's "Pennsylvania Super 6 Jackpot," the first time in 11 months that the jackpot has been hit.

The winning ticket holder selected the cash payout option, worth $36.1 million.  The jackpot had grown to more than $61 million, the third-largest in the game's history.  The largest was $73 million.

Sales of Super 6 tickets have slowed since the state introduced Powerball -- a multi-state lottery -- in June 2002.  The last winning Super 6 ticket was sold Nov. 8 to a man in Bucks County.  He won a $27 million jackpot.

The winning ticket was purchased at a Turkey Hill convenience store on Main Street in Campbelltown, Lebanon County, lottery officials said Saturday.  The jackpot winner had not yet stepped forward, officials said.

The Super 6 jackpot returns to $500,000 for Tuesday's drawing.

The winning numbers drawn Friday in the "Super 6 Lotto" game were: 04-13-43-50-51-54.

 That game is not played that much. So the pot does not grow much. Pa has really messed up with all the games they got going. I us to play daily number every day till they came out with twice a day.

If you used to play every day, why don't you? The midday drawing and night time drawing have NOTHING to do with each other. Plus the midday draw is run by a computer.

Also the PA Cash 5 game is alot of fun, they certainly have messed that up. In fact NJ recently copied PA's formula of rollover jackpots.

 I play Daily number off and on for eve only and usually miss by 1 number. Us to be able to figure out numbers with different patterns but not working since it is twice day. Cost to much to play twice day...

 Have had some luck with Cash5.

 Sometimes good luck in Jersey but it takes me an hour to go there.

Yeah but my point is that you can still find patterns if you look at only the night drawings.

CASH Only

Super-6 is the only online game in PA that needs replacing. Grammy: Super-6 has never been very popular for one major reason- while you get three plays per dollar, you can choose your numbers in only one of them (the other two sets are automatically quick-picked).
