Recent lottery winners near and far

In the previous Mega Millions drawing on Wednesday, one ticket matched the first five white balls drawn, missing only the gold Mega ball. That’s close enough to win that ticket holder $1 million. The winning ticket was sold in Illinois.

In PA Lottery news, a Sunoco store in Westmoreland County sold a big winner this week. One lucky player won $1 million on a scratch-off called $1,000,000 Cash Corner$. That store, at 311 West Otterman St. in Greensburg, earned a $5,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.

$1,000,000 Cash Corner$ is a $20 game that offers top prizes of $1 million. There are now four top prizes left on that game. See the game rules and remaining prizes at the PA Lottery site.
