Canonsburg, PA – Officials from the Pennsylvania Lottery and Sheetz, a Lottery retailer, today presented a commemorative check to the winner of a recent $3 million holiday-themed Scratch-Off ticket called $3 Million Snow Bank. This holiday ticket is the first $30 ticket to ever join the Lottery’s holiday Scratch-Off lineup of games. The check presentation was held at Sheetz, 2401 Washington Road, Canonsburg, Washington County, where the winning ticket was sold. The store receives a $10,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.  The winner, Kim Maurer of Allegheny County, said she was shocked to learn she won this top prize.  “I scratched it and said, ‘Wait.’ I looked away and said, ‘Maybe I’m not playing this ticket right,’” said Maurer. “I didn’t know what to do! I went back into the Sheetz and scanned it. It read, ‘You won $3 million, contact the Lottery.’ I scanned it again. I couldn’t breathe!”  Maurer said this win comes at a perfect time.  “I work a lot. I have two full-time jobs as a retail manager,” said Maurer. “One of the stores where I work is closing soon.”  The prize gives Maurer a chance to dream a bit bigger, especially around the holidays.  “I already found my dream home and I’m on my way to go look at it now!” said Maurer. “I get excited when I win $100. This is beyond awesome!”
