KUTZTOWN, PA — A Pennsylvania Lottery retailer in Berks County has become the source of a life-changing windfall. It was announced on Monday that Weis Markets, located at 15260 Kutztown Road, Kutztown, had sold a MONOPOLY™ Own It All Scratch-Off ticket worth a staggering $5 million.
But the good fortune doesn’t end there. Weis Markets itself stands to benefit from this event, earning a $10,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket. This instance highlights how such significant wins not only transform the lives of the lucky ticket holders but also positively impact the local businesses and the wider community.
The winning ticket came from the MONOPOLY Own It All game, a $50 offering that presents the tantalizing possibility of top prizes reaching up to $5 million. Those interested in trying their luck can find more information about the game by visiting the Lottery’s website or downloading the Official App.
For those who strike it lucky, it’s crucial to remember that Scratch-Off prizes have an expiration date—one year from the game’s end-sale date. To ensure their win is secure, winners are advised to sign the back of their ticket immediately and call the Lottery at 1-800-692-7481.
In the world of lottery games, the thrill lies in its randomness. Scratch-Offs are distributed randomly, meaning neither the Pennsylvania Lottery nor its retailers know where the winning tickets will land. The location of the winning tickets is revealed only once the prize has been claimed, adding to the suspense and excitement of the game.
As with any significant financial gain, lottery prizes exceeding $5,000 are subject to applicable withholding. Prospective players are encouraged to visit the Lottery’s website to familiarize themselves with the rules, assess their chances of winning, and learn how to play both traditional and online games.
This event serves as a thrilling reminder of the unexpected joy and life-changing potential that can be found in everyday life. For the lucky winner, it’s undoubtedly a moment of transformation. For the community, it’s an injection of excitement and a testament to the potential rewards of trying one’s luck.
