The search is on for one lucky person who matched all six Powerball numbers Saturday night in southwestern Virginia.

The Virginia Lottery reports that the winning ticket was sold at a convenience store in Pulaski County. Whoever bought that ticket is now 161-million-dollars richer.

The one-time, lump-sum cash option amounts to nearly 82 million, before tax. Either way, it’s the fourth-largest prize ever recorded in the commonwealth, and the second time the state has seen a Powerball winner.

The winner has 180 days from Saturday to claim the money.
