Another Powerball drawing has come and gone without a jackpot winner, as the prize climbs to $1.23 billion or 595.1 million in cash, ahead of the next drawing on Saturday.
But, locally in the Pittsburgh area, two tickets won a decent amount of money.
The two tickets, each worth $150,000 were sold in Westmoreland and Indiana Counties.
One was sold at the One 1 Stop Smoke Shop on East Market Street in Blairsville, the other was sold at the Sheetz on Route 30 in Irwin.
Both tickets matched four of the five white balls drawn, 11,38,41,62 and 65 along with the red Powerball of 15 to win the prize.
Lottery winners should sign the back of their ticket immediately and contact the lottery to learn about filing a claim.
Double check your tickets, because over 201,200 other tickets have some sort of prize on them.
The Pennsylvania Lottery says that as of Thursday morning, $1,200 worth of tickets were being sold each minute.
The Powerball jackpot has been growing since it was last won on New Year's Day, a $842.4 million prize sold in Michigan.
The Pennsylvania Lottery provided the following additional tips to players:
Always check your PA Lottery tickets at the time of purchase. Tickets cannot be canceled, so you should immediately speak to the clerk or manager to resolve any concerns before leaving the store.
Always sign the back of your PA Lottery ticket. This will help prevent someone else from trying to cash it in the event your PA Lottery ticket becomes lost or stolen, or if someone tries to scratch out, white out or change your signature.
Never post your winning ticket on social media. This will prevent someone else from trying to cash your winning ticket. Claim your prize first and then share your story!
The current jackpot is the fourth highest in Powerball history and eight in U.S. Lottery history.
