Woman claims $1 million prize

LEMOYNE, Pennsylvania -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- A Cumberland County woman who won $1 million cash, one of four top prizes in the Pennsylvania Lottery's July 5 Millionaire Raffle, received her winnings today.

Lottery Executive Director Ed Trees presented a ceremonial check to Sharon Burke of Camp Hill, at Tenth Street Station, a gas station at 10th and Lowther streets in Lemoyne where she purchased the winning ticket. Sharon and her husband, John, own American Library Contracting Inc., a family business based in Camp Hill. Burke already has a few plans for her winnings, including a new car and a vacation for herself and her husband.

All four of the $1 million winning Raffle tickets have been claimed and validated.

In addition to Burke, winners of $1 million are Paul Gamber of Washington, Washington County, who purchased his winning ticket at Sheffield Delicatessen in Aliquippa, Beaver County; Helen Toto of Wilmington, Delaware, who purchased her winning ticket at Marrone's Delicatessen in West Grove, Chester County; and Marlin Greeninger of Lebanon, who purchased his winning ticket at Zweier's Foodkart in Lebanon.

Each of the Raffle's $20 tickets offered a 1-in-125,000 chance of winning $1 million, the best odds ever offered by the Pennsylvania Lottery for winning a $1 million prize.

The winning raffle ticket numbers were randomly selected at 7 p.m. on July 5 during the Lottery's live drawing show.
