$200,000 Powerball ticket sold in Union County

A 7-Eleven on Old Turnpike Road in East Buffalo Township sold the Powerball with Power Play ticket that paid $200,000 in Union County, drawing attention to a neighborhood store while the winner remains unidentified. The ticket came from the Monday, June 9 drawing, and the prize can still be claimed within the Pennsylvania Lottery’s one-year deadline from the drawing date.

The winning ticket matched four of the five white balls and the red Powerball to reach the $200,000 level, less applicable withholding. The Pennsylvania Lottery’s Powerball prize chart shows that a ticket with those same four white balls plus the Powerball and Power Play can pay $100,000, $150,000, $200,000 or $250,000, depending on the multiplier in play, which is why this tier sits well above the standard non-jackpot payouts.

For the retailer, the ticket also brings a direct reward: the store receives a $500 bonus for selling a winning ticket. For East Buffalo Township, it puts a specific address on the local lottery map and gives residents a concrete place to point to when they talk about a prize that was sold close to home.

Union County has surfaced before in Powerball coverage, including a separate $100,000 ticket, so this latest win adds another sizable draw-game result to the county’s recent record. Pennsylvania Lottery winners are not known until prizes are claimed and tickets are validated, which means the search for the ticket holder continues until the prize is formally filed.

Anyone holding the ticket will need to follow the lottery’s claim rules carefully. Pennsylvania Lottery claim forms say all tickets must include the claimant’s name, address and signature to be validated and paid, and prizes worth more than $2,500 can be claimed by mailing a completed claim form along with the signed ticket to the address on the form. With a one-year claim window on Powerball prizes, the clock is now running on one of Union County’s biggest recent lottery hits.
