Someone in Pennsylvania is getting a huge holiday bonus this year: A ticket sold in Dauphin County won $1 million in Wednesday's Powerball drawing.

The lucky ticket matched all five white balls (16, 38, 55, 63 and 67) but missed the Powerball of 25, falling just short of hitting the $227 million jackpot.

No one won the top prize, so the jackpot for Saturday's drawing now rolls over to $255 million for the annuity, or $158.4 million for the cash option.

The lucky Pennsylvania ticket was purchased at the BG Value Market located at 301 S. Market St. in Millersburg, lottery officials said. The retailer gets a $5,000 bonus for selling the winner.

The ticketholder has one year from the drawing date to claim the prize.
