(Omaha, NE) -- It wasn't over a billion dollars, but still quite a Christmas gift for a player who bought a Powerball ticket in Omaha for the Christmas Eve drawing.

That ticket is worth $50,000.

The Nebraska Lottery confirms that one ticket sold for Wednesday's $1.7 billion Powerball draw matched four of the five white ball numbers and the Powerball number.

The ticket was sold at the Speedee Mart near 138th and West Maple Road.

Prizes for Nebraska Lottery Lotto games can be claimed up to 180 days after the draw date.

Prizes of $20,000 or more must be claimed at Lottery headquarters in Lincoln, and all Nebraska Lottery offices are closed until Monday for the Christmas Holiday.
