Thanks to Julius May for the tip.
Congratulations to the lucky winners!
Can anyone tell me why they always tell you what county the town is in when Pennsylvania is in the news?
Maybe it's the lottery's way of offering at least a little privacy. If so, that's a nice thing for them to do for the winners.

Please post in the right forum. You have replied to a news story about the Pennsylvania Lottery.
Congrats to the winners. Not sure why GA didn't have the raffle...
Good Luck to all the winners. I hope to hit the NJ Raffle Jackpot in a few days.
Good luck ochoop17
Me too!!!
I'm thinking because it took a while (they even had to delay the drawing) to sell all the tickets for the last raffle drawing......it just wasn't nearly as popular as it was the 1st time (I think they had introduced the $500 Million Club $20 scratcher when they had the 2nd raffle and it was selling better than the raffle).
