Lucky scratcher lands $2.5M at local GIANT store

Middletown, PA — A routine scratch-off purchase in Lehigh County turned into a $2.5M payday after a winning ticket was sold at a GIANT grocery store, according to the Pennsylvania Lottery.

The ticket, part of the $120,000,000 Payout Scratch-Off game, was sold at GIANT located at 7150 Hamilton Boulevard in Upper Macungie Township. The retailer will receive a $10,000 bonus for selling the top-prize winning ticket.

The $30 scratch-off game offers top prizes of $2.5M, with tickets distributed randomly across the state. Lottery officials note that neither the lottery nor retailers know where winning tickets are placed until they are claimed.

Winners have up to one year from the game’s end-sale date to claim prizes. Prizes exceeding $5,000 are subject to applicable tax withholdings under state guidelines.

The Pennsylvania Lottery continues to release details of major wins as part of its public reporting, identifying locations tied to top-prize tickets after validation.
