Middletown, PA — Pennsylvania Lottery officials presented a commemorative check to Donna Osborne, the winner of a $5 million Scratch-Off ticket, at Lottery Headquarters on Thursday.
Osborne, 75, purchased the winning MONOPOLY™ Own It All ticket at Speedway, located at 3180 Oregon Pike in Leola, Lancaster County. The store will receive a $10,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket. The presentation took place at the Lottery Headquarters in Middletown, Dauphin County.
Osborne, who recently completed radiation treatment for breast cancer, described the win as bittersweet and said it came just in time for her birthday. She discovered her fortune after a flight delay led her to buy the ticket.
“I was at the airport with my daughter when our flight got delayed multiple times. I decided to go home, and if I hadn’t left the airport, I would have never bought that ticket!” Osborne recalled. She scratched the ticket in the Speedway parking lot and was shocked to see the $5 million prize.
Osborne, a grandmother and great-grandmother who provides transportation for the Amish, doesn’t plan to retire. “I have to keep moving,” she said, expressing plans to invest some of the prize money and visit Alaska.

Baltimore Officers Seize Firearm and Illegal Fireworks During Traffic StopBALTIMORE, MD—A routine traffic stop led to the seizure of a loaded handgun and illegal fireworks by the Baltimore Police Department's Eastern District Action Team. The incident occurred on Monday evening in the 4400 block of Belair Road.
The vehicle, which was sporting expired Virginia temporary tags, was stopped at around 6:53 PM. During the interaction with the driver, a police K-9 alerted officers to the potential presence of a firearm in the vehicle.
Upon further inspection, officers discovered not only the handgun but also a stash of illegal fireworks. The bomb squad and ATF investigators were promptly notified and arrived at the scene to assist.
Both the 30-year-old driver and a 46-year-old male passenger were charged in connection with the findings.
Two Arrested at Roxbury Basketball Tournament, Firearm RecoveredROXBURY, MA—During a basketball tournament at Malcolm X Park on Wednesday night, Boston Police arrested two individuals and seized a firearm. The Youth Violence Strike Force took action around 9:36 PM, arresting 18-year-olds Anthony Diaz from Malden and Braxten Baker from Brockton.
Officers were monitoring the event to enhance public safety when they noticed Diaz and Baker, who appeared uninterested in the game and focused instead on the police presence. Observations led to suspicions that Diaz might be armed.
When Diaz attempted to leave the tournament prematurely and fled upon police approach, he was quickly apprehended after a brief chase. Officers found a firearm concealed in his shorts. Meanwhile, Baker interfered with the arrest, leading to his own arrest for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.
The recovered weapon was a black Ruger semi-automatic handgun with a defaced serial number and a laser attachment. The gun was loaded with one round in the chamber and six rounds in the magazine. Diaz faces multiple charges, including carrying and possessing a firearm illegally, and will be arraigned in Roxbury District Court.
