A Pennsylvania Lottery retailer in Berks County recently sold a winning $10,000 a Month for Life Scratch-Off ticket, according to lottery officials.<\/p>\n
The winning ticket was sold at Star Gas & Diesel, located at 8558 Lancaster Avenue in Bethel Township. The retailer will receive a $10,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.<\/p>\n
The Pennsylvania Lottery did not disclose whether the winner selected the game\u2019s top prize of $10,000 per month for life or the available cash option, valued at $1.6 million before applicable withholding.<\/p>\n
The $10,000 a Month for Life Scratch-Off is a $5 game offered by the Pennsylvania Lottery. Lottery officials noted that Scratch-Off tickets are distributed randomly, meaning neither the Lottery nor retailers know where winning tickets will be sold. The Lottery only learns where a winning ticket was purchased after a prize has been claimed.<\/p>\n
Lottery officials reminded players that Scratch-Off prizes expire one year after a game\u2019s end-sale date. Winners are encouraged to sign the back of their ticket immediately and contact the Pennsylvania Lottery to begin the claims process.<\/p>\n
All Pennsylvania Lottery prizes exceeding $5,000 are subject to applicable state and federal withholding requirements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Pennsylvania Lottery retailer in Berks County recently sold a winning $10,000 a Month for Life Scratch-Off ticket,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":30206,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[128,130,129],"class_list":["post-205497","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-reading","tag-reading-city","tag-reading-city-headlines","tag-reading-city-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/205497","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=205497"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/205497\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30206"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=205497"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=205497"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=205497"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
