Xavier Dunbar of Harrisburg tried his luck on a digital instant game on Tuesday and won a $330,444 jackpot.
Dunbar played for $10 and won the top level “Epic” jackpot in the Wheel of Bonuses game, a digital instant game featuring a progressive jackpot that can be won at any time. The odds of that win are 1 in 3.1 million.
He claimed his prize Friday at lottery headquarters and, after required federal and state tax withholdings, took home $237,956.
In the Wheel of Bonuses digital instant game, a player can play from 50 cents to $30. After Dunbar won the jackpot, it restarted at $50,000 and grew to over $72,000 as of Friday afternoon.
