An anonymous individual's lucky streak paid off in an incredible way at the Hollywood Casino at the Meadows in Washington County, where a $50 scratch-off ticket turned into a $5 million prize. Details provided by WTAE confirm that the life-changing Monopoly Own it All scratch-off game yielded its top prize at the Washington County establishment.
Winning tickets in the Pennsylvania Lottery are randomly distributed, making it hard to predict where they will be sold. According to the lottery, neither they nor the retailers know in advance which tickets are winners. Retailers, like the casino that sold a winning ticket, can earn a $10,000 bonus for selling a winning ticket.
For those still dreaming of their big win, the Pennsylvania Lottery reminds players to sign their tickets immediately and to be aware of expiration dates. As reported by CBS News Pittsburgh, scratch-off prizes expire one year after the game's end-sale date, details of which are available on the lottery's website. The fresh millionaire should heed this advisement and call the Pennsylvania Lottery at 1-800-692-7481 to secure their fortune.
