DELAWARE COUNTY - A Pennsylvania Lottery player is now $1 million richer after purchasing a winning scratch-off ticket in Delaware County. The winning $1 Million Moneybag Crossword ticket was sold at the Exxon on Marshall Road in Upper Darby Township.
What we know:
Pennsylvania Lottery officials announced that a $1 Million Moneybag Crossword scratch-off ticket worth $1 million was sold at the Exxon at 6898 Marshall Road. The retailer will receive a $5,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.
The ticket is part of a $20 scratch-off game that offers top prizes of $1 million. Players are encouraged to learn more about the game through the Lottery’s website or official app.
Officials also reminded players that scratch-off prizes expire one year from the game’s end-sale date, which is posted on palottery.com. Winners should sign the back of their ticket immediately and contact the Lottery at 1-800-692-7481.
Scratch-off tickets are distributed at random, meaning neither the Lottery nor retailers know where winning tickets will be sold. The Lottery learns the winning retailer only after a prize is claimed.
What's next:
All lottery prizes over $5,000 are subject to applicable tax withholding. Officials continue to encourage responsible play and note that lottery products should not be gifted to children.
