Two big winning lottery tickets are sold out in Montgomery County
Montgomery County scratch-off fans have had some luck recently. Two lucky winners are set to receive $3 million each, after matching the winning number on a $30 scratch-off ticket called Ho Ho Holiday 100X.
Along with the $3 million grand prize, Ho Ho Holiday 100X players can claim prizes ranging from $100 to $300,000 to the jackpot.
Three $3 million jackpots remained available Friday, according to the Pennsylvania Lottery’s website.
The winning tickets, which are distributed randomly throughout the state and only revealed after a winner comes forward to claim the prize, were purchased at the Giant supermarket in Blue Bell and a Wawa in Glibertsville from a batch that went on sale in October.
Both retailers will receive $10,000 for selling the winning tickets. The Pennsylvania Lottery recommends winners sign the back of their ticket and call the Lottery line at 1-800-692-7481.
Since taxes are not forgiven for lottery winnings, any lucky winner will also have to pay 24% of earnings to the IRS in federal taxes and 3.07% in state income tax.
