The monthly winner list is posted in the Winners section of the PA Lottery website. Not included on that list are the many Scratch-Off players who won prizes of less than $1,000.
Scratch-Off are distributed at random, meaning the Pennsylvania Lottery and its retailers do not know where winning tickets will be sold.
