Check your numbers: several unclaimed prizes for Powerball/Mega Millions
JACKSON, MISS. – More than 200 Cash 4 players won upwards of half-a-million dollars in combined winnings from the Sunday, Sept. 4., evening drawing with the winning combination of 3-3-3-3 and the Wednesday, Sept. 7, midday drawing with the winning combination of 1-1-2-2.
