Bedford store sells $1M lottery ticket

The Martin General Store in Saxton, Bedford County, sold a $1 million-winning Triple Red 777 scratch-off Lottery ticket and will receive a $5,000 bonus.

According to the Pennsylvania Lottery, the Triple Red 777 is a $30 game that offers top prizes of

$1 million. Winners should immediately sign the back of their ticket and call the Lottery at 1-800-692-7481. Scratch-off prizes expire one year from the game’s end-sale date.

Scratch-Offs are distributed at random, meaning the Pennsylvania Lottery and its retailers do not know where winning tickets will be sold.

The Lottery learns where winning tickets are sold only after a prize has been claimed.
