Pittsburgh area prizes
This is the fifth million-dollar lottery prize won in our area so far this year.
To start the year, two winners in the Pittsburgh area won $1 million dollars in the New Year's Millionaire Raffle drawing on January 6.
Just days later in Murrysville, a man won a nearly $2 million jackpot playing the Cash 5 at the Shop 'n Save on William Penn Highway.
Late in February, a 26-year-old lottery player in Butler County who won the $1 million New Year's Millionaire Raffle was presented with a commemorative check celebrating his win.
Finally, two scratch-off tickets sold in Allegheny County within just days of one another won $3 million and $5 million, respectively.
A bittersweet victory
Back in June, KDKA interviewed a lottery winner who took home a $1 million prize in Freeport.
For Karen Coffman, it was a bittersweet victory as just two weeks after her victory, her husband died from a brain tumor.
"Throughout the years, I kept telling him, 'You watch, one of these days, I am going to hit the million,'" Coffman said. "You watch and see, and he would just laugh at me and say, 'Yeah, right.' And I was like, 'Come on, with my luck. You know I am going to hit.' And then whenever I hit, I said to him, I said, 'Rob, you can go ahead and go. You don't have to worry. I'll be ok.'"
