Several Pennsylvania Lottery players connected on massive jackpots recently, earning local residents $1 million on multiple occasions. The PA Lottery already features plenty of enticing games, but it continues to deliver new titles regularly this summer, as well.
The jackpots arrived from opposite corners, but each one contained six zeroes. The first $1 million was claimed on June 29.
A player from Greene County in Pennsylvania’s southwest corner purchased a Price is Right scratch-off ticket at Sheetz that won the top prize of $1 million. The $20 ticket based on the iconic game show features five $1 million jackpots. Two top prizes still remain according to the PA Lottery website.
Another $1 million winner appeared on July 5 in Lansdowne, Delaware County, in the state’s southeast corner. The PA Lottery announced that a Mega Millions player had correctly matched all five numbers in that Friday’s Mega Millions drawing (1-27-29-38-62), hitting everything except for the yellow Mega Ball 12.
The player won $1 million minus withholding. And the retailer, Travers Food Market on Shadeland Avenue, will receive a $5,000 bonus for selling the ticket.

The $1 million jackpots highlight a recent hot streak for some PA Lottery players. Other big wins include the following:
