CRABTREE, PA — A scratch-off player in Westmoreland County is $1 million richer after purchasing a top-prize winning Jackpot ticket at Crabtree Gas & Go (Sunoco), located at 226 Roosevelt Way.

The Pennsylvania Lottery announced Tuesday that the winning ticket came from the $20 Jackpot game. The store will receive a $5,000 bonus for selling the ticket.

Jackpot offers top prizes of $1 million. Scratch-off tickets are randomly distributed, and neither retailers nor Lottery officials know where winning tickets will appear until a prize is claimed.

Winners must claim prizes within one year of the game’s end-sale date. Tickets should be signed immediately and players are encouraged to call the Lottery at 1-800-692-7481 for claim instructions.

All prizes over $5,000 are subject to applicable state and federal tax withholdings. Additional information on games, odds, and prize claims can be found at palottery.com.
