The lucky ticket, sold at the GIANT Food Stores on East Logan Street in New Hope, matched four of the five white balls with the winning numbers 1-6-7-13-40 and the red Powerball 5 in the Wednesday, Nov. 27, drawing. The ticket was supercharged to $250,000 thanks to the Power Play multiplier of five—an option that only costs an extra $1. Without it, the prize would have been just $50,000, according to officials.

The store will also cash in, earning a $500 bonus for selling the winning ticket.

The winner remains a mystery for now, as prizes aren’t awarded until the ticket is validated and claimed. Lottery officials remind players to sign the back of their tickets immediately and check every ticket, every time. Winners have one year from the drawing date to claim their prizes.

That wasn’t the only luck floating around Pennsylvania—more than 28,900 other Powerball tickets won smaller prizes in the same drawing, including over 5,800 enhanced with Power Play and 3,600 with Double Play.
