HONESDALE, PA — A Pennsylvania Lottery player in Wayne County is celebrating a massive $5 million win after purchasing a $5,000,000 Lion’s Share Scratch-Off ticket at a local retailer.

The winning ticket was sold at Dave’s Super Duper, located at 200 Willow Avenue in Honesdale. As a result, the retailer will receive a $10,000 bonus for selling the top-prize ticket.

$5,000,000 Lion’s Share is a $50 scratch-off game that offers players a chance to win life-changing prizes. Winners have one year from the game’s end-sale date to claim their prize and are advised to sign the back of their ticket immediately and contact the Pennsylvania Lottery at 1-800-692-7481.
