A Berks County gas station just hit a lucky moment after selling a winning scratch-off ticket from the Pennsylvania Lottery. The big win? A “$10,000 a Month for Life” prize.
Even better, the retailer didn’t walk away empty-handed either — they earned a $10,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.
The winning ticket came from Star Gas & Diesel on Lancaster Avenue in Bethel Township. It was part of the $5 scratch-off game that offers players a major choice:
- $10,000 every month for life, or
- A lump-sum cash option of $1.6 million (before taxes)
Here’s something important to know: the Pennsylvania Lottery distributes scratch-off tickets randomly. That means no one — not even retailers — can predict where the winning tickets will show up. It’s all chance.
If you ever play, keep this in mind right away:
- Sign the back of your ticket immediately
- Contact the lottery at 800-692-7481 to claim winnings
- Scratch-off prizes must be claimed within one year of the game’s end-sale date
It’s a reminder that sometimes, life-changing wins can come from the most ordinary stops — like a quick visit to a local gas station.
