A lucky player in Allegheny County just hit it big — we’re talking a jaw-dropping $3 million win from a Pennsylvania Lottery scratch-off ticket.
The winning ticket came from the “3s a Charm” game and was sold at the WelMart convenience store inside the BP gas station on Alter Road in Harrison Township. Not a bad day for a quick stop at the gas station!
Here’s what makes this even more exciting:
-
💵 Top prize: $3 million
-
🎟️ Ticket price: $30
-
🏪 Store bonus: $10,000 just for selling the winning ticket
Yes, the store that sold the lucky ticket will score a nice $10,000 bonus. That’s a win-win moment for the whole community.
Lottery officials also reminded players that scratch-off tickets are sent out randomly. That means neither the Pennsylvania Lottery nor the stores know where the big winners are headed. They only find out where a jackpot ticket was sold after someone steps forward to claim the prize.
So if you’ve got a scratch-off sitting in your car, wallet, or kitchen drawer, it might be worth a second look. You never know when a routine stop could turn into a multimillion-dollar surprise.
