<p>WILKES-BARRE &#8212; If you recently bought a lottery ticket, it might be worth double-checking to see if it&#8217;s a winner.</p><p>Two winning Powerball tickets with Power Play worth $150,000 each were sold in Lancaster and Luzerne counties for the Saturday, April 9, drawing.</p><p>The tickets correctly matched four of the five white balls drawn, 14-22-23-41-61, and the red Powerball 09, to win $150,000, less applicable tax withholding. They were sold with the $1 Power Play option, which boosted the prize to $150,000 instead of $50,000 because Saturday&#8217;s multiplier was three.</p><p>The following retailers will each receive a $500 bonus for selling the winning tickets:</p><p>&#8226; Stover&#8217;s News, 24 N. 3rd St., Columbia, Lancaster County</p><p>&#8226; Carriage Stop Plaza, 2500 East End Blvd., Plains Township, Luzerne County</p><p>Also in Luzerne County, one jackpot-winning Pennsylvania Lottery Cash 5 ticket worth $325,000 from the Saturday, April 9, drawing was sold at Fuel On, 2384 Memorial Highway, in Dallas.</p><p>The ticket correctly matched all five balls, 07-16-17-23-35, to win $325,000, less applicable tax withholding. The retailer will receive a $500 bonus for selling this winning ticket.</p><p>Pennsylvania Lottery Powerball and Cash 5 winners have one year from the drawing date to claim prizes. Prizes must be claimed and winning tickets validated before winners can be identified.</p><p>Pennsylvania Lottery officials encourage holders of winning tickets to sign the back of the ticket, call the Lottery at 717-702-8146 and file a claim at Lottery headquarters in Middletown, Dauphin County, or at any of Lottery&#8217;s seven area offices.</p><p>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.</p><p>More than 39,700 other Powerball tickets won prizes of various amounts in the April 9 drawing, including more than 9,298 tickets purchased with Power Play that won prizes multiplied by three.
