Rhode Island supermarket sells $336.4M Powerball ticket

— The winning ticket in Saturday's $336.4 million Powerball jackpot was sold at a Stop & Shop supermarket in Newport, but no one has come forward yet to claim the prize, Rhode Island lottery officials said Monday.

The lump sum cash payout will be $210 million, which is the highest ever for Powerball, officials said. The jackpot was the third largest in Powerball history and the largest ever won in Rhode Island.

The winning numbers were 1-10-37-52-57, Powerball 11.

The jackpot is the sixth largest in U.S. history, lottery spokeswoman Melissa Juhnowski said. The top jackpot was a $390 million Mega Millions prize won in March 2007.

The winning ticket was among three tickets with random numbers purchased on a $9 wager, officials said.

The jackpot win is the first since the ticket price increased from $1 to $2 last month. Rising sales nearly doubled the jackpot from $173.5 million on Feb. 1.

Powerball is played in 42 states, Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The chance of matching all five numbers and the Powerball number is about 1 in 175 million.
