A lucky ticket just turned into a $2.5 million win in Pennsylvania—and it all started with a simple scratch-off purchase.

The PA Lottery confirmed that the big winner came from a $120,000,000 Payout Scratch-Off, a $30 game known for its top prize of $2.5 million. The winning ticket was sold in Lehigh County.

Where it happened

• The ticket was purchased at a GIANT store in Upper Macungie Township
• The retailer will score a $10,000 bonus just for selling the winning ticket

What makes this interesting

• Scratch-off tickets are completely random
• Stores have no idea where winning tickets are
• Even the lottery only confirms a winner after the prize is claimed

 

This win is a solid reminder: sometimes, a single scratch can change everything.
