A Powerball ticket worth $1 million from Saturday's drawing was sold at a Family Express in Rolling Prairie.

Hoosier Lottery spokesman Andrew Reed said the numbers on the winning ticket match five of the six numbers from the May 16 Powerball drawing.

The winning ticket also contains the matching 5 multiplier, bringing the original $200,000 prize to $1 million.

As of Monday afternoon, the identify of the winning ticket-holder was not known.

"No one has come forward yet to claim that prize," Reed said.

Family Express manager Alexis Hudson said store employees are eager to find out who the lucky customer is.

"Hopefully, it's a customer from around this area. We're pretty excited," she said.

Because the ticket did not match all six of the Powerball numbers, the Family Express at 4593 E. U.S. 20 will not receive a 1 percent cut of the prize, which is reserved only for jackpots, Reed said.

Winners have 180 days after the drawing to collect prizes or the money will revert to supplement prizes in other games, Reed said.
