PA Lottery Player Wins Once-in-a-Lifetime Game of Thrones Experience |
Westmoreland County Resident Embarks on Epic Adventure and Cashes in Big |
David Fedor, a 61-year-old from Westmoreland County, recently embarked on a once-in-a-lifetime journey, thanks to the Pennsylvania Lottery's Game of Thrones Second-Chance Drawing.
Fedor secured a coveted spot among 44 winners, earning a trip to Napa Valley, California, in November 2025.
During this immersive experience, participants engaged in "The Seven Kingdoms Experience," a series of events inspired by the iconic TV series.
Fedor and his wife, married for 34 years, had not taken a significant trip in years.
As a former high school teacher, Fedor found this adventure particularly rewarding.
"We were treated like royalty!" Fedor exclaimed.
"The experience would have been enough without the money!"
Assigned to House Targaryen, Fedor's team participated in a jousting tournament.
"We watched as our knight jousted another knight to win each round and win us the $1 million prize for our group!" he recounted.
Fedor's share of the winnings amounted to $76,786.
Reflecting on the event, he added, "We were assigned a rider on a horse and went to this castle that was built a long time ago—it was like $350 million to build this castle."
The Pennsylvania Lottery's Game of Thrones Second-Chance Drawing offered players the opportunity to enter non-winning $10 Game of Thrones Scratch-Off tickets for a chance to win this extraordinary trip.
Winners enjoyed a comprehensive package, including airfare, accommodations, curated tours, and participation in themed events.
Fedor's remarkable experience underscores the excitement and rewards that come with taking a chance.
For those inspired by his story, the Pennsylvania Lottery continues to offer various games and second-chance drawings, providing numerous opportunities to win big.
Remember, as Fedor's adventure shows, sometimes, taking a chance can lead to unforgettable experiences and substantial rewards. |
