Two Pennsylvania Scratch-Off Tickets Hit $4 Million Jackpot

Two lucky scratch-off players in Pennsylvania just scored a combined $4 million, and the winning tickets were sold on opposite sides of the state.

Let’s start in Philadelphia, where a $1 million Millionaire Loading Scratch-Off ticket was sold at Pennsylvania Lottery retailer M&M Express.

• The game costs $20

• Top prize: $1 million

• The store gets a $5,000 bonus for selling the winner

Not a bad day for everyone involved.

Meanwhile, over in Allegheny County, another big win hit at Welmart (BP). A lucky player picked up a $3 million winner from the 3s Charm Scratch-Off.

• Jackpot prize: $3 million

• Retailer bonus: $10,000

Here’s the interesting part: scratch-off tickets are sent out randomly. Even the Pennsylvania Lottery doesn’t know exactly where the top prizes will land. That means every ticket has a real shot.

One more thing to remember — scratch-off prizes don’t last forever. Winners have one year from the game’s end-sale date to claim their money.
