After working in the gambling industry for over a decade, Oliver spotted an opportunity to setup a resource for lottery bettors. CompareTheLotto.com was founded in 2014 and launched a UK site firstly with a South African following shortly after and USA being launched in 2020.

We love a good winner story at Comparethelotto.com... that's why we have compiled a list of our top three winners in the Pennsylvania Lottery from the past year.

The epic payday fairy tales include a richly-deserved $100,000 for a player in need, a mammoth $1,100,000 for a food bank volunteer, and an eye-watering $3,000,000 hit for a family farm owner.

Paula B - $100,000

Two years ago, Paula was diagnosed with lung cancer - today, she can enjoy a massive $100,000 payday to help her recover after finding a winning PA Lottery Scratch-Off, purchased from an A-Plus Mini Market out of Uniontown.

She says the windfall will help her cover the cost of some medical bills - here's hoping you make a swift and full recovery Paula!

Jeffrey C - $1,100,000

We would struggle to find a more deserving winner of such a large sum! For coming up to two decades, Jeffrey - out of York County - would head to the York Elks Club to ensure there wasn't a soul in the surrounding area that went hungry. He also works to collect toys for children in need and distribute them as far and wide as possible.

His charitable deeds were paid back by karma, and then some thanks to a mammoth hit from Pennsylvania Lottery's Match 6 Lotto on 30th June 2020. The charity worker purchased his ticket from the Viking Athletic Association on 318 N. Adams St, York, York County - splitting a jackpot prize of $2.2million with one other lucky player. His dream is to launch a non-profit organization to help more people - we say good luck to you, Jeffrey!

Beth S - $3,000,000

Never has selling a batch of eggs been more profitable! Beth S, of Venango County, had dropped into Leomart on the 854 Perry Highway, Mercer, in mid-July of 2020 to sell some fresh farm eggs. While she was there, she purchased a $3,000,000 Diamond Dazzler Pennsylvania Lottery Scratch-Off ticket.

She had won prizes playing this game before - "I like that ticket, having won $500 and other prizes here and there. I have had luck on that ticket."

The luck continued in a big way - she scooped a top prize of $3,000,000! She hopes the money will allow her and her husband to retire early while putting their two teenage daughters through school.

At ComparetheLotto.com we believe very strongly in responsible play. It’s important to remember that playing the lottery should only ever be done for fun and you should never play with money you can’t afford to lose.
