$1.5 million scratch off ticket sold at Cumberland County Sheetz

MIDDLETOWN, PA – A routine stop at a Cumberland County convenience store turned into a seven-figure moment after a Pennsylvania Lottery Scratch-Off ticket worth $1.5 million was sold at a local Sheetz location.

Lottery officials confirmed the winning Cash Spectacular Scratch-Off ticket was purchased at Sheetz, located at 420 North Baltimore Avenue in Mount Holly Springs Borough. The retailer will receive a $10,000 bonus for selling the top-prize ticket.

Cash Spectacular is a $30 Scratch-Off game that offers top prizes of $1.5 million. The Pennsylvania Lottery stated that winning tickets are distributed randomly, and neither the lottery nor retailers know where top prizes will be sold until they are claimed.

Winners are advised to sign the back of their ticket immediately and contact the Pennsylvania Lottery to begin the claims process. Prizes over $5,000 are subject to applicable tax withholding.

Scratch-Off prizes must be claimed within one year of the game’s end-sale date, which is listed on the Pennsylvania Lottery website.

The identity of the winner has not been released.
