“Scratch-Offs are distributed at random, meaning 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 prize has been claimed,” the lottery said in its announcement.

Country Fair will get a $10,000 bonus from the lottery for selling the winning ticket.
