A Fargo grocery store sold a Powerball lottery ticket that's worth $200,000.
North Dakota's lottery office says the winner has not yet come forward.
The ticket matched five of the six numbers in last Saturday's Powerball drawing. It missed matching the Powerball number, which was 8.
Matching the five numbers carries a $200,000 prize. If the ticket buyer had spent an extra dollar on the game's Power Play option, the prize would be worth $1 million.
The odds of matching the Powerball game's five "white" numbers without matching the sixth, "red" Powerball number are one in 5.13 million. Four ticket buyers nationwide matched the five white numbers in last Saturday's drawing.
Nobody matched all six numbers in the drawing. That would have brought the winner a jackpot of $122 million.
The ticket was sold at Fargo's Sunmart store on South 25th St.
