HONEY BROOK » Players, check your tickets: a winning Pennsylvania Lottery Powerball with Power Play ticket worth $150,000 that was sold in Chester County for the March 27, 2019, drawing will soon expire.
The unclaimed winning ticket was sold by Turkey Hill, 4031 Horseshoe Pike, Honey Brook. The ticket matched four of the five white balls drawn, 1620-37-44-62, and the red Powerball, 12, to win the $150,000 prize, less applicable withholding.

A prize claim must be filed with the Lottery by the end of the business day on Friday, March 27, 2020.
The Pennsylvania Lottery encourages claimants to sign the back of the ticket, call the Lottery

By law, unclaimed, expired lottery prizes remain in the Lottery Fund and are used to support programs benefiting older Pennsylvanians. Although some lotteries give players only 90 or 180 days to claim a prize, Pennsylvania Lottery draw game prizes may be claimed on a business day up to one year from the drawing date.
Players should check every ticket, every time, using self-service scanners found at retailers or with the Ticket Checker on the Lottery’s Official App. Sign tickets immediately for proof of ownership.
