PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Lottery officials say someone who played the Powerball in Rhode Island has won the $336.4 million jackpot.
The new multimillionaire has not stepped forward and the lottery has not said where the winning ticket was sold. To win, the player had to match all of Saturday’s five numbers, 1-10-37-52-57, and Powerball number 11.
The jackpot was the third largest ever for the game and officials say the cash payment of $210 million is the largest cash payment ever, turnto10.com reported.
No other winning tickets were sold, according to WPRI, Channel 12.
Because of rising sales, the jackpot more than doubled from $173.5 million on Feb. 1.
Powerball is played in 42 states, Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
