NEW TRIPOLI, Pa. — A $150,000 winning Powerball ticket sold in New Tripoli has gone unclaimed for almost a year.
And on Oct. 9, it will expire, according to a release from the Pennsylvania Lottery.
It's among three unclaimed tickets in the state set to expire in early October, according to the Lottery. The other two were sold in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia.
"The ticket matched four of the five white balls drawn, 16-34-46-55-67, and the red Powerball 14 to win $150,000, less applicable withholding."Pennsylvania Lottery release
The winning Lehigh County ticket was sold at Blose's Market on 7070 Route 309 in New Tripoli for the Monday, Oct. 9, 2023, drawing.
"The ticket matched four of the five white balls drawn, 16-34-46-55-67, and the red Powerball 14 to win $150,000, less applicable withholding," the release said.
Without the Power Play multiplier — which was 3 that night — the ticket would have amounted to $50,000. Only four players won $150,000 with the Power Play multiplier that night.
How to claim a prize
Pennsylvania Lottery Draw Game prizes can be claimed on a business day up to a year from the drawing date, according to the Lottery.
Other lotteries may give players up to 90 or 180 days to claim.
To claim the ticket, the winner must file a prize claim with the Lottery by mail or at a Lottery Area Office before it expires. Prizes of more than $2,500 can only be paid by the Lottery, rather than a lottery retailer.
