$1.5 Million Scratch-Off Sold at Pittsburgh Hospital—Lucky Winner Hits Big

Written by Published

A lucky moment just hit Pittsburgh in a big way—someone scored a $1.5 million scratch-off win, and the ticket came from a pretty unexpected spot.

The winning ticket was sold at UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital, located at 300 Halket Street in Pittsburgh. Yes, a hospital—not your typical lottery stop!

🎉 Here’s what makes this win stand out:

  • Top prize: $1.5 million
  • Game: Cash Spectacular (a $30 scratch-off)
  • Retailer bonus: The hospital gets $10,000 just for selling the ticket

Pretty amazing, right?

What’s interesting is that the Pennsylvania Lottery spreads scratch-off tickets randomly across all its retailers. That means no one—not even the store—knows where the big winners are hiding until someone actually claims the prize.

So whether you're at a grocery store, gas station, or even a hospital, your next ticket could be the one.
