West Chester, Pennsylvania — A Pennsylvania Lottery player has won $1 million after purchasing a Jumbo Bucks Scratch-Off ticket in Chester County, the Lottery announced Monday.
The winning ticket was sold at Goshen Beverage Center, located at 102 Turner Lane in West Chester. The retailer will receive a $5,000 bonus for selling the top-prize ticket.
Jumbo Bucks is a $10 scratch-off game that offers multiple prize tiers, including several $1 million top prizes. The Pennsylvania Lottery does not know in advance where winning tickets will be sold, as scratch-offs are distributed randomly.
The identity of the winner has not yet been disclosed. Players who win prizes of more than $5,000 should be aware that winnings are subject to applicable tax withholdings.
Lottery officials urge winners to sign the back of their tickets and contact the Lottery at 1-800-692-7481 for guidance on claiming their prize.
Scratch-off prizes must be claimed before expiration
Scratch-Off prizes must be claimed within one year of the game’s end-sale date, which is posted on the Pennsylvania Lottery’s official website.
Jumbo Bucks tickets and other scratch-off games are available at retailers statewide. Players can check game rules, odds, and claim procedures at palottery.com or through the official mobile app.
The Pennsylvania Lottery continues to remind the public that all games should be played responsibly, and help is available for individuals experiencing gambling-related issues.
