Nobody won the Powerball jackpot on Saturday, but a Monroe County retailer did sell a ticket that was worth $100,000 in that drawing.

M&S Tobacco Outlet at 3236 Route 940, Mount Pocono, gets a $500 bonus for the sale, the Pennsylvania Lottery said in a news release on Monday.

The ticket matched four of the five white balls and the red Powerball 3, and was doubled from $50,000 to $100,000 by the $1 Power Play option.

Tickets worth $100,000 (before taxes) were also sold in Delaware and Clearfield counties.

The Powerball jackpot for Monday night's drawing is $800 million.
