Routine stop becomes million dollar moment

Middletown, PA – A routine stop at a York County convenience store turned into a life-changing moment after a scratch-off ticket revealed a seven-figure prize, Pennsylvania Lottery officials announced.

A $1 million-winning Millionaire Loading Scratch-Off ticket was sold at Rutter’s, located at 1090 Old Trail Road in Newberry Township. The York County retailer will receive a $5,000 bonus for selling the top-prize ticket.

Millionaire Loading is a $20 scratch-off game that features top prizes of $1 million. Lottery officials said the location of winning tickets is not known in advance, as scratch-off tickets are distributed randomly across the state. The Lottery is only notified of winning locations after a prize is claimed.

Winners are reminded that scratch-off prizes expire one year from the game’s official end-sale date listed on palottery.com. Lottery officials advise winners to immediately sign the back of the ticket and contact the Pennsylvania Lottery at 1-800-692-7481 for claim instructions.
