The Sunoco at 630 Walnut Lane in Manayunk sold a Pennsylvania Lottery Fat Wallet that won $2,419,372 on Saturday, Dec. 3, officials said. 

It's the single largest prize ever awarded for the Fast Play game in state history, they added. The previous record-breaker was purchased and played in Lackawanna County on May 28, according to lotto officials. 

The store will receive a $10,000 bonus check for having sold the lucky ticket, state representatives added. 

As a Fast Play game, Fat Wallet costs $30 and is similar to a scratch-off in that players don't need to wait for a drawing to know if they've won, officials said.
