Someone who bought a lottery ticket in Allegheny County is a whole lot richer.

The Pennsylvania Lottery said a scratch-off worth $3 million was sold at a Shop 'n Save on Route 8 in Richland Township. The grocery store gets a $10,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.

The scratch-off was part of the $3,000,000 Golden Ticket game, which, for $30, offers top prizes of $3 million.

It's the latest lottery ticket to win big in the Pittsburgh area. Earlier this month, a Match 6 Lotto ticket worth $950,000 was sold at the Super Mart convenience store on Pine Hollow Road in Kennedy Township. In September, another Match 6 Lotto ticket bought at the Cogo's on West Run Road in West Homestead hit the jackpot, raking in $4.5 million.
