The $3 million win is among the largest available in the state’s scratch-off lineup, adding another big payout to the popular Golden Ticket game.
Winners are advised to sign the back of their ticket immediately and contact the lottery directly at 1-800-692-7481 to begin the claims process.
Lottery funds continue to support senior programs in Pennsylvania
The Pennsylvania Lottery remains one of the few state lotteries in the nation that exclusively directs its proceeds to benefit programs for older residents. Prizes over $5,000 are subject to applicable federal and state withholding.
