The Pennsylvania Lottery announced that a $1 million-winning scratch-off ticket was sold at a Sheetz location in Somerset Boro, Somerset County. This is the third time in 2026 that a $1 million or more lottery prize has been won in western Pennsylvania.

Why it matters

The Pennsylvania Lottery is a major source of funding for programs that benefit older residents in the state, so large jackpot wins like this help support important services. Lottery sales and winnings are closely watched in the region, as they can have a significant economic impact on local communities.

The details

The winning ticket was a $20 Jackpot Scratch-Off sold at a Sheetz convenience store. Sheetz will receive a $5,000 bonus for selling the ticket. The Pennsylvania Lottery says scratch-off tickets are distributed randomly, so neither the lottery nor the retailer knows where winning tickets will be sold.

  • The winning ticket was sold on February 13, 2026.
  • Just eight days into 2026, another $1 million Jackpot Scratch-Off was sold at a Walmart in North Huntingdon Township.
  • Less than a week later, a $1.4 million Match 6 Lotto ticket was bought at a Sheetz in North Huntingdon Township, Westmoreland County.
