Lottery officials noted that scratch-off tickets are distributed randomly across the state. Neither the Pennsylvania Lottery nor retailers know where winning tickets will end up until a prize is officially claimed.

Winners are encouraged to sign the back of their ticket right away to help protect their prize. It's also important to remember that scratch-off prizes expire one year after the game's end-sale date, and winnings over $5,000 are subject to applicable tax withholding.

Since its launch in 1972, the Pennsylvania Lottery has generated more than $37.2 billion to support programs for older residents, including transportation services, prescription assistance, senior centers, and meal programs.
