Pennsylvania Lottery Ticket Wins $500,000 a Year for Life

Written by Published

Another huge lottery prize has landed in Western Pennsylvania, where a lucky scratch-off ticket could be worth $500,000 every year for life.

The winning ticket in the Pennsylvania Lottery’s $500,000 a Year for Life game was sold at the Speedway on 5th Street in New Brighton, Beaver County. The winner has not yet been identified.

The $20 scratch-off gives the lucky player two payout choices:

  • $500,000 every year for life
  • A one-time cash payment of $7.25 million

The Speedway that sold the winning ticket will also receive a $10,000 bonus from the Pennsylvania Lottery.

This marks the second $500,000-a-year-for-life winning ticket announced in just a few days. Last week, lottery officials revealed that another winning ticket had been sold in Pittsburgh.

According to lottery officials, scratch-off tickets are distributed randomly. The Pennsylvania Lottery does not know where a winning ticket was sold until the prize is officially claimed.

For now, the big winner remains anonymous—but that could change once the ticket is claimed
