Warren County player hits $1 million prize on Pennsylvania Lottery scratch-off

MIDDLETOWN, PA – A Pennsylvania Lottery player in Warren County has won $1 million after purchasing a 200X the Cash Scratch-Off ticket, officials announced Wednesday.

The winning ticket was sold at Amvets Post 50, located at 3838 Stoney Run Road in Sugar Grove Township. The retailer will receive a $5,000 bonus for selling the prize-winning ticket.

The 200X the Cash game is a $20 scratch-off offering top prizes of $1 million. Multiple prizes remain in play across the state.

Lottery officials remind players that scratch-off prizes expire one year from a game’s official end-sale date, which is posted on palottery.com. Players are urged to sign the back of winning tickets immediately and contact the Lottery at 1-800-692-7481 for instructions on claiming.

Scratch-off games are distributed randomly, meaning neither the Pennsylvania Lottery nor its retailers know where winning tickets will be sold until they are redeemed.

All prizes over $5,000 are subject to state and federal withholding.
