MIDDLETOWN, Pa., Feb. 4 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Two winning Powerball tickets from the Feb. 3 drawing were sold in Pennsylvania. A ticket worth $1 million was sold at Delcroft Beverage at 1866 Delmar Drive, Folcroft, Delaware County, and one worth $200,000 was sold at Giant Food Store at 830 U.S. Route 15, Dillsburg, York County.

The winning tickets correctly matched all five white balls, 17-22-36-37-52, but not the red Powerball 24.

The ticket sold in Folcroft also purchased Power Play®, which multiplied the second-tier prize by five for a $1 million prize, less 25 percent federal withholding. The ticket sold in Dillsburg won a $200,000 second-tier prize, less 25 percent federal withholding.

Lottery officials cannot confirm the identities of the Feb. 3 winners until the prizes are claimed and the tickets are validated. No claims have yet been filed. Pennsylvania Lottery Powerball winners have one year from the drawing date to claim prizes.

The Lottery encourages the holders of the winning tickets to sign the back of the ticket, call the Lottery at 717-702-8146 and file claims at Lottery headquarters in Middletown, Dauphin County, or at any of Lottery's seven area offices.

Claims may be filed at headquarters Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at area offices.

The Powerball jackpot rolled to an estimated annuity value of $140 million, or $68.6 million cash, for the Saturday, Feb. 6, drawing.

How to play Powerball: players pay $1 and select five white balls from the first set of 59 numbers plus a single red ball, the Powerball, from a second set of 39 numbers. Players may select their own numbers using a Powerball play slip, or they may opt for computer-selected quick picks. Players must match all five numbers drawn plus the Powerball number to win the jackpot. There also are eight additional ways for players to win a cash prize.

Powerball features an option called Power Play. For an extra $1 per Powerball play (game), players can multiply their Powerball prizes by 2, 3, 4, or 5 times the original prize amount for all prizes EXCEPT the jackpot. Prizes can multiply up to $1 million.

The Multi-State Lottery Association, which manages the Powerball game, and the Mega Millions consortium reached an agreement in October 2009 on cross-selling Powerball and Mega Millions across U.S. lottery jurisdictions. Prior to the agreement, individual lotteries could only sell either Powerball or Mega Millions.

Powerball tickets are now sold in 43 participating jurisdictions; 32 states and the District of Columbia now sell both Mega Millions and Powerball tickets.

About the Pennsylvania Lottery: the Pennsylvania Lottery remains the only state lottery that designates all its proceeds to programs that benefit older residents. Since its inception 37 years ago, the Pennsylvania Lottery has contributed more than $19.2 billion to programs that include property tax and rent rebates; free and reduced-fare transit; the low-cost prescription drug programs PACE and PACENET; long-term living services; and the 52 Area Agencies on Aging, including more than 600 full- and part-time senior centers throughout the state. The Pennsylvania Lottery reminds its players to play responsibly. Players must be 18 or older.
