$4 Million Scratch-Off Jackpot Won at Live! Casino Pittsburgh

A lucky lottery player recently scored a massive $4 million jackpot at Live! Casino Pittsburgh in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. Surprisingly, the winning ticket wasn’t purchased on the casino floor but from one of the casino’s two lottery vending machines.

The winner purchased a $50 Cash Money scratch-off ticket and has chosen to remain anonymous.

Casino staff celebrated the big win on Thursday, with general manager Sean Sullivan expressing excitement over the result. The casino also received a $10,000 bonus for serving as the location where the winning ticket was sold.

Live! Casino Pittsburgh plans to hold a check presentation with the Pennsylvania Lottery once the winner comes forward. The casino is still deciding how to spend its bonus, but the money will go toward creating more entertainment experiences for customers.

More Big Lottery Wins in Western Pennsylvania

The $4 million prize adds to a growing list of major lottery wins across the region. Nearly a dozen winning tickets worth at least $1 million have been sold in western Pennsylvania so far this year.

According to the Pennsylvania Lottery, scratch-off tickets are distributed randomly. Neither lottery officials nor retailers know where a winning ticket will be sold until someone claims the prize.

What Winners Should Know

Anyone holding a winning scratch-off ticket should:

• Sign the back of the ticket immediately.
• Contact the Pennsylvania Lottery at 1-800-692-7481.
• Claim the prize before the deadline. Scratch-off prizes expire one year after the game's end-sale date.

Since launching ticket sales in 1972, the Pennsylvania Lottery has contributed more than $38.2 billion to programs supporting older adults, including transportation, prescription assistance, senior centers, meals, and care services.
