Bellevue Tobacco & News will receive a $5,000 retailer bonus for selling the $1 million ticket.
Pennsylvania Lottery officials said Scratch-Off tickets are distributed randomly, so neither the agency nor participating stores know where a top-prize ticket will be sold.
Scratch-Off prizes expire one year after the posted end-sale date for the game. Winners are advised to sign their tickets immediately and contact the Lottery to begin the claim process.
Lottery rules, prize information and claim instructions are available through the Pennsylvania Lottery.
