A 7-Eleven in Pennsylvania sold a $3 million top prize winning scratch-off
A Pennsylvania Lottery scratch-off that paid $3 million was sold in Allegheny County, the lottery said on Monday.
The ticket was a top prize on The Hunt for $3,000,000, a $30 game, and it was sold at the 7-Eleven at 6403 Brownsville Road in South Park Township. The store gets a $10,000 bonus for selling it. The lottery did not name the winner.
The game launched on January 18, 2025, with five $3 million top prizes. Here is where the upper prize levels stood on the lottery's most recent prize list.
| Prize | Printed | Unclaimed |
|---|---|---|
| $3,000,000 | 5 | 2 |
| $300,000 | 10 | 4 |
| $15,000 | 25 | 9 |
The game pays back 77.5% of sales as prizes, with overall odds of 1 in 3.32. About 68% of the print run has sold, and the game rates 63.1 on our ValueScore™, ninth of Pennsylvania's 11 active $30 games. The state's top $30 ticket, Game Show Experience at 95.4, pays back 79.2% and is new enough that its big prizes are still out there.
It is the second $3 million Pennsylvania scratch-off we have covered this month. An Erie County man collected $3 million on the $30 $3,000,000 Golden Ticket after switching vending machines. Pennsylvania sends its lottery proceeds to programs for older residents, and it cleared more than $1 billion for them last fiscal year.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where was the $3 million Hunt for $3,000,000 ticket sold?

How many $3 million prizes are left on The Hunt for $3,000,000?
The game was printed with five. The Pennsylvania Lottery prize list last updated September 15, 2026 showed two unclaimed, and it is not clear whether that count already reflects this claim. Four of ten $300,000 prizes were also unclaimed.
How long do you have to claim a Pennsylvania scratch-off prize?
One year from the game's end-sale date, which the lottery posts on palottery.com. That means the deadline depends on when a game stops selling, not on when you bought the ticket. Winners are told to sign the back of the ticket right away.
