Laurel: To a rash of good luck. Everyone who buys a lottery ticket has that moment of hope and imagination, dreaming of walking away with the big prize. Lately, though, it seems like a lot of those big prizes are popping up in Southwestern Pennsylvania.
It started in May. The last two months have seen a $3 million scratch-off sold in Ligonier,
$1 million winners in North Huntingdon, Wilkinsburg and Pittsburgh, three $250,000 tickets in Westmoreland County, two $100,000 or higher winners in Fayette County and two more Westmoreland winners of $20,000 or more.
