Charleroi Man Wins $1 Million In State Lottery

A Washington County man who recently retired for the second time won a $1 million jackpot from a Pennsylvania Lottery ticket. Michael Matyas, 70, was presented with a commemorative check Tuesday after he won $1 million from a Pennsylvania Lottery ticket last month. Matyas bought the ticket at Giant Penn LLC (Exxon) in Charleroi the day of the July 19 drawing, but didn’t check it until two days later. Matyas said he retired 10 years ago and recently retired from working a part-time job. He said he plans to use his prize money to help his children, pay off bills and spend more time enjoying his favorite hobby: golfing.  “I’m still taking it all in. This whole experience has been fantastic,” Matyas said.
