A nice prize was won in Bucks County, and a mind-blowing one has become even more collosal.

A nice prize was won in Bucks County, and a mind-blowing one has become even more collosal.

A Cash 5 ticket, bought at the Big Kmart on West Street Road in Feasterville, is worth $225,000 for matching all the numbers drawn Saturday night: 6, 18, 22, 27 and 33.

Locals weren't so lucky in the latest drawing in Mega Millions.

The game's jackpot for tonight was raised Monday to $363 million for the annuity - tied for fourth-most ever for a U.S. lottery - with an all-time record $259 million for the cash.

Coming close on Friday, and winning $250,000 were three tickets sold in New Jersey and one in Pennsylvania.

They matched the first five numbers - 6, 17, 19, 20 and 21 - but not the Mega Ball of 20.

Here's where those tickets were sold:

-- Sheetz, Graham Avenue, Windber, near Johnstown, Somerset County, Pa.

-- Stop + Shop, Route 34, Aberdeen, Monmouth County.

-- Kingdom Liquors, North 11 th Street in Newark, N.J.

-- VR Supermarket, 113 Main Avenue, Passaic, Passaic County.
