Time is running out for the holder of a Pennsylvania Lottery Powerball ticket worth $200,000 from the Sept. 19, 2009, drawing to claim the prize.

The ticket and prize will expire one year from the date of the drawing, but an in-person claim should be presented to the Lottery by Friday, Sept. 17.

"The Lottery never likes to see a prize expire, so we encourage players who purchased Powerball tickets last September to check storage and hiding spots for old tickets," said Lottery Executive Director Ed Trees. "A couple of months ago, a Montgomery County couple claimed a prize worth $200,000 just days before its expiration date, and we hope for a similar last-minute claim for this prize."

The soon-to-expire Powerball ticket correctly matched all five white balls drawn, 05-24-25-30-49, but not the red Powerball, 23, for a $200,000 second-tier prize, less 25-percent federal withholding. It was sold at Hannold's Sunoco, 4701 Jonestown Rd., Harrisburg, Dauphin County.

The Pennsylvania Lottery encourages the ticket-holder to sign the back of the ticket, call the Lottery at 717-702-8146 and file a claim within the next two weeks 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. until 4 p.m., and from 8:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. at area Lottery offices.

Because the prize expires on a Sunday, the last chance to file a claim in person will be Friday, Sept. 17, at 4 p.m. at Lottery headquarters or 4:30 p.m. at an area Lottery office. A claim submitted by mail must be postmarked by Saturday, Sept. 18.

Unclaimed, expired lottery prizes remain in the Lottery Fund and are used to support programs benefiting older Pennsylvanians.

How to Play Powerball: 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. Drawings are held on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

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.

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 38 years ago, the Pennsylvania Lottery has contributed more than $20.1 billion to programs that include property tax and rent rebates; free transit and reduced-fare shared rides; 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.

At 3pm on Bank Holiday Saturday, Jackpotjoy Bingo awarded 1,963,088 pounds Sterling to Mathew G from Bristol, a new record single giveaway for the site. Mathew obviously got into the spirit though, as he immediately gave away 250,000 pounds to the friend who'd enticed him to play…

Mathew G, a 33 year old from Bristol, originally joined Jackpotjoy in 2009. He made a deposit, enjoyed the games but didn't return to the site until last Saturday (28th August 2010) when a friend reminded him about the size of the Deal or No Deal Jackpot.

Mathew deposited 100 pounds and began playing, smiling as he joked: "If I win I'll give you 250,000 pounds!"

He was playing for around 45 minutes before he made it through to the Banker's Bonus Round for the final time. The game works just like the hit Channel 4 show, with the player having to choose one of 26 cash filled Boxes, while a mysterious banker makes enticing offers in an attempt to buy the box of the player.

"I chose box number 8," Mathew explained. "Because when me and my mates are at the Casino, 28 always seems to be my lucky number – so I figured 8 would work. It was also the 28th of August and … I can't explain it. It just felt right.

"I got down to the last two boxes, with the Jackpot still in play, and the Banker made me an offer of 229.50 pounds. There was no way in the world I was taking that, I had a 50% chance of winning 1.9 Million pounds … Imagine if you took the offer and it turned out you'd just turned down the big money? I'd never forgive myself. I was still desperately nervous clicking No Deal – partly just because I wanted to make sure I got the right button!"

Moments later, Mathew realised the enormity of his decision as the numbers 1,963,088.83 pounds came pouring out of the box!

"The win itself was a complete blur to be honest; I think I went into shock!

"My friend pulled me back together and I got straight on the phone to Customer Support who were great – they kept reassuring me that it was all real. Within 20 minutes my girlfriend came around with all the champagne she could buy from the local supermarket and we started off on an unforgettable bank holiday weekend.

"I asked for the money to be transferred on Tuesday and by that afternoon I had almost 2 million pounds in my account. I took a picture of the ATM with the money in it! It was amazing…"

We asked Mathew about his plans for the future.

"I had a bad car accident about 4 years ago and I've only worked on and off since then, helping my Dad with his plumbing business and doing some charity work which I really enjoy.

"I'm going to use some of the winnings to help out the business which will help after the recent financial crisis. But mainly the money means I can secure the future for my 5 year old son which is amazing and very special. He doesn't really understand how much a million is at the moment. I asked him and he thought it was a thousand but I'm sure it won't be long before he realises the difference all those zeros can make!

"One thing I will definitely be doing is honouring my promise to my friend and giving him 250,000 pounds!"

Mathew is the third millionaire that Jackpotjoy's Deal or No Deal game has created.

Visit Jackpotjoy's website today to play Bingo, or our Deal or No Deal game.
