LotteryMap doesn't have a verified remaining-prize count for every game in this list, so we can't put a reliable dollar figure on unclaimed top prizes here.
Pennsylvania also runs 7 state-only games beyond Powerball and Mega Millions: Match 6 Lotto (state jackpot lotto game), Cash 5 (5-number draw game), Treasure Hunt (bonus multiplier game), Pick 5 (5-number draw game), Pick 4 (4-digit numbers game), Pick 3 (3-digit numbers game), and Pick 2 (state draw game).
LotteryMap tracks Powerball, Mega Millions, and scratch-off tickets directly with verified results and odds. State-only draw games like these change by state and over time, so for exact winning numbers, draw times, and odds on these games, the Pennsylvania Lottery's own site is the accurate source — tap any game above to go straight there.
Pennsylvania players can play 2 draw games on the schedule below, all times Eastern. Drawings land on 5 different days of the week across these games, so it's worth checking which nights matter for the tickets you buy.

🔥 Pennsylvania Hot & Cold Numbers
These are historical draw-frequency statistics only — not predictions. Every drawing is an independent random event, so past frequency has no effect on future odds. Each number has exactly the same chance of being drawn next time, regardless of how often it's appeared recently.
