A lucky scratch off lottery player from Allegheny County scoops a big jackpot
A scratch-off ticket worth $3 million was sold in Allegheny County. The Pennsylvania Lottery said the winning My Three Million Scratch-Off was sold at the Shaler Shop 'n Save on Babcock Boulevard.
The store gets a $10,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket. The lottery said scratch-offs are distributed at random, so it doesn't know where winning tickets will be sold until a prize has been claimed.
Scratch-off prizes expire a year from the game's end-sale date so the Pennsylvania Lottery says winners should immediately sign the back of their ticket and call 1-800-692-7481.
The winning ticket has sparked a wave of excitement and speculation within the community, as neighbors and friends eagerly try to uncover the identity of the fortunate winner.
The unexpected windfall promises to be life-changing for the lucky resident, who can now look forward to a brighter and more prosperous future.
