EARLIER:

Someone who bought a ticket in Bald Knob won $100,000 in Wednesday's Powerball drawing.

The Arkansas Scholarship Lottery said the as-yet-unclaimed ticket matched four of the five white balls along with the Powerball, a combination that pays $50,000. The player also bought the Power Play option, which in Wednesday's drawing doubled the prize.

No one won the jackpot.

The $100,000 ticket was purchased at Bald Knob Market on U.S. 64 East. The store is eligible for a $1,000 bonus, the lottery said in a statement.

The next Powerball drawing is set for Saturday, when the jackpot is estimated at $176 million.
