The Indiana County winner of a recent $3 million scratch-off Pennsylvania Lottery jackpot was identified yesterday in a news conference staged by the lottery. He’s 30-year-old Randy Lytle, who lives in Robinson, and he said the only reason he was at the store where he bought the Monopoly 100X ticket on Memorial Day was because he’d won a $1,000 scratcher the day before and the Ligonier Giant Eagle was the closest place he could cash it in.
Lytle is a furloughed steelworker who worked at TSI Titanium in Derry Township. He said he does not plan to return there and he also intends to get his brother, Donnie, out of the underground coal mine in which he works.
Standing yesterday outside the store where he’d bought the ticket, Lytle said he had cashed the previous winning ticket and was walking out when he stopped at a lottery machine and bought the $3 million winner. His plans include investing some of the money, buying his mother a new home, putting some aside for his son’s education, and taking a vacation.
