If you buy your lottery tickets in Warminster, make sure you check them.

One Powerball ticket worth $200,000 from the Aug. 6 drawing was sold at 7-Eleven, 1175 York Road.

According to a release, the ticket correctly matched all five white balls, 25-30-54-57-59, but not the red Powerball 06, for a $200,000 second-tier prize, less 25-percent federal withholding.

Lottery officials cannot confirm the identity of the Aug. 6 winner until the prize is claimed and the ticket is validated. Pennsylvania Lottery Powerball winners have one year from the drawing date to claim prizes.

The Lottery encourages the holder of the winning ticket 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’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 grew to an estimated annuity value of $220 million, or $118.8 million cash, for the Wednesday, Aug. 10, drawing.

In the 2009-10 fiscal year, in addition to awarding more than $73.4 million in prizes to Bucks County winners, the Pennsylvania Lottery contributed more than $34.9 million to programs serving Bucks County’s older residents.
