PHILADELPHIA, PA – Lottery officials said the lucky winner of a $500,000 winning Powerball ticket still hasn’t come forward to claim their prize.

A Pennsylvania Lottery retailer in Philadelphia sold a Powerball with Double Play ticket worth $500,000 for the Saturday, July 8 drawing.

The ticket matched five of the five Double Play balls drawn, 12-23-30-42-62, but not the Double Play Powerball number 21, to win $500,000, less applicable withholding.

EZ Smoke Plus, 1542 Pratt St., Philadelphia, earns a $500 bonus for selling the winning ticket.

Winners are not known until prizes are claimed, and tickets are validated.
