Scratch-off millionaire emerges from western pennsylvania

$1 million winning Pennsylvania Lottery Scratch-Off ticket sold at Walmart in Westmoreland County

NORTH HUNTINGDON, PA – A Pennsylvania Lottery player is starting the year as a millionaire after purchasing a top-prize winning Scratch-Off ticket worth $1 million at a Walmart in Westmoreland County.

The winning Jackpot ticket was sold at the Walmart located at 915 Mills Drive in North Huntingdon Township. The retailer will receive a $5,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket, according to lottery officials.

Jackpot is a $20 Scratch-Off game offering multiple top prizes of $1 million. The ticket was randomly distributed, as all Pennsylvania Lottery Scratch-Offs are, and the Lottery only learns the location of winning ticket sales after prizes are claimed.

The identity of the winner has not been disclosed. All Scratch-Off prizes in Pennsylvania must be claimed within one year of the game’s official end-sale date. The Pennsylvania Lottery encourages players to immediately sign the back of their ticket and contact lottery officials to initiate the prize claim process.

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