“Whether it’s purchasing your Powerball® ticket in-store or on our website, it only takes one ticket to win a life-changing jackpot prize,” said Pennsylvania Lottery Executive Director Drew Svitko. “As the jackpot continues to grow, our players are helping us generate funding for property tax and rent rebates, transportation, care services, prescription assistance, and local services including senior centers and meals. That’s important to keep in mind as we encourage our players to play responsibly.”
The Powerball® jackpot has been rolling for more than two months. The last time a jackpot was won in Pennsylvania was on
August 3, 2022. In Pennsylvania, this recent jackpot run generated more than $41.6 million in sales, creating a profit of more than $16.6 million to benefit older Pennsylvanians.
If there is no Powerball® winner in tonight’s drawing, the jackpot for the Saturday, October 22 drawing will be an estimated $550 million, or $277.5 million cash.
Pennsylvania Lottery players have options to purchase their Powerball® tickets
online or by visiting a
retailer. Players can find lottery-selling locations closest to them by visiting the
Find a Retailer section of the Lottery’s website.
Additionally, pooling ticket purchases with friends can be a fun way to play responsibly. To help players manage their pooled ticket purchases, Pool Play forms are available at
www.palottery.com.
Winners are not known until prizes are claimed and tickets are validated. Pennsylvania Lottery Powerball® winners have one year from the drawing date to claim prizes. Winning tickets purchased at a Lottery retailer should immediately be signed on the back. Online winnings automatically appear in a player’s account after the claim has been processed. To initiate an online prize claim, winners should call 1-800-692-7481. Players may visit
palottery.com for more information about how to file a claim.
