Nebraska has a new millionaire. One lucky player who bought a Powerball ticket for the Saturday, October 20 drawing is holding a ticket worth $1,000,000.

The Nebraska Lottery has confirmed that one ticket sold for Saturday’s $80 million Powerball draw matched the first five numbers, but not the Powerball number itself. The winning ticket was sold at Bag 'N Save on North 90th Street in Omaha. The winning numbers from Saturday’s Powerball draw were 4, 21, 28, 31, 44, and the Powerball was 10. This is the third automatic million dollar winning ticket in Nebraska since Powerball was upgraded on January 15, 2012.

Saturday’s winning ticket becomes the third million dollar winner in Nebraska since Powerball changed its prize payout in mid-January. Previously, the amount won for matching only the first five numbers was $200,000. The $1 million winner has 180 days to claim their prize.
