Some major lottery prizes, won by local tickets, are still looking to be claimed, according to the Pennsylvania Lottery.
One ticket worth $250,000 expires this month.
Here's a rundown, including two last-gasp chances and a handful of recent victories.
Expiring soon: $250,000 won in Bucks County. The Mega Millions ticket was purchased for the April 29, 2011, drawing at the Acme Market at 2301 Pasqualone Blvd. in Bensalem. It matched the first five numbers - 9, 10, 11, 33 and 51 - but not the Mega Ball of 29. Because the prize expires on a Sunday, final chance to stake a claim in person is Friday, April 27, and last chance for a valid postmarked mailed submission is Saturday, April 28.

$250,000 won in Bucks on Tuesday. The Mega Millions ticket - sold at the Quick Stop on East Walnut Street in Perkasie - matched the first five numbers drawn April 17: 1, 16, 24, 32 and 48. It missed the Mega Ball of 2.
$1 million won in Montgomery County on Saturday. The ticket matched the first five numbers drawn Saturday night (April 14) - 14, 15, 16, 19 and 24 - but not the Powerball of 2.
