NEW BRIGHTON, PA – A Pennsylvania Lottery player landed a massive top prize after buying a $500,000 a Year for Life Scratch-Off ticket at a Speedway in Beaver County.

The winning ticket was sold at Speedway, 410 5th St. in New Brighton Borough, according to the Pennsylvania Lottery.

Speedway Sells Massive Lottery Winner

The New Brighton Speedway will receive a $10,000 bonus for selling the top-prize ticket.

The Pennsylvania Lottery said Scratch-Off tickets are distributed randomly, meaning neither the agency nor retailers know where a winning ticket will be sold in advance.

The Lottery learns where winning tickets were sold only after prizes are claimed.

Winner Can Choose $7.25 Million Cash Option

The $500,000 a Year for Life game offers an annuity paying $500,000 annually for life or a one-time $7.25 million cash option.

Scratch-Off prizes must be claimed within one year of the game’s posted end-sale date.

Lottery officials advise winners to immediately sign the backs of their tickets and call 1-800-692-7481.

Prizes worth more than $5,000 are subject to applicable withholding.
