The $1 Million scratch-off was sold to a Lancaster County couple. John Fresh won a million dollars from a scratch-off ticket in Blair County. His wife says they had stopped for a bathroom break at a Duncansville Rutter’s last month and John decided to spend $20 on the ticket.

Lottery scratch-offs are distributed randomly, which means that the Pennsylvania Lottery and its retailers do not know where winning tickets will be sold. The Lottery learns where winning tickets are sold only after a claimed prize.
