Middletown, PA – Pennsylvania Lottery Scratch-Off winners claimed $198,135,617 in prizes during April, including one top prize worth $3 million claimed by a player from Luzerne County. Additionally, two top prizes worth $1 million were claimed by players from Allegheny and Pike counties.
 
Congratulations to the retailer who earned a $10,000 bonus for selling the $3 million-winning ticket, and to the retailers who each earned a $5,000 bonus for selling the winning Scratch-Off tickets worth $1 million. They are:
  • Can Do Convenience, 419 South Poplar St., Hazleton, Luzerne County ($10,000 bonus);
  • Wawa, 5121 Milford Road, East Stroudsburg, Monroe County ($5,000 bonus); and

  • One prize of $150,000; and
  • Six prizes of $100,000.
The monthly winner list is posted in the Winners section of palottery.com. Not included on that list are the many Scratch-Off players who won prizes of less than $1,000.

Scratch-Off games currently offer prizes ranging from a free ticket to $5 million. Before playing any game, players should read and understand the rules, remaining prizes and specific chances of winning at palottery.com. Check tickets promptly and immediately claim winnings. Prizes expire one year from a Scratch-Off game’s end-sale date, which is posted on palottery.com.

Scratch-Offs are distributed at random, meaning the Pennsylvania Lottery and its retailers do not know where winning tickets will be sold. The Lottery learns where winning tickets are sold only after a prize has been claimed.

The overall chances of winning any prize, printed on the back of each ticket, is stated across all tickets produced in a game, not by consecutive tickets sold per pack. Random distribution ensures the Pennsylvania Lottery and retailers do not know where winning tickets will be sold.
