- $1 Million Scratch-Off Winner Celebrated in Armstrong County
Freeport, PA – Officials from the Pennsylvania Lottery presented a commemorative check to Karen Coffman, the winner of a $1 million Scratch-Off ticket, at the BP gas station where the winning ticket was sold.
Coffman, 61, of Armstrong County, won the top prize on a $1,000,000 Game Scratch-Off ticket purchased at BP (Radhe Oil Corporation) located at 222 Buffalo St. The retailer received a $5,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.
Coffman described her win as bittersweet, revealing that her husband, who passed away from a brain tumor two weeks after her win, had always believed she would hit a million-dollar jackpot. She recalled the moment of disbelief and excitement when she realized she had won, sharing her joy with the store clerk.
Having worked as a chef at a nursing home, Coffman is now retired. She occasionally bought Scratch-Off tickets at the same BP gas station, where she previously won $65,000 on a Scratch-Off ticket 14 years ago. Coffman plans to invest part of her prize and consider relocating to Florida to be closer to family and escape the winter weather.
"We're thrilled to present Karen with a commemorative check for $1 million," said Secretary of Revenue Pat Browne. "Her win highlights the support the Pennsylvania Lottery provides to programs for older Pennsylvanians."
