EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) - A ticket for one of the largest Powerball jackpots ever was sold in Rhode Island according to the Powerball website.
The winning numbers are: 1-10-37-52-57 and Powerball 11.
An estimated $336 million will go to the winner and the one-time cash payout would be an estimated $210 million.
According to lottery officials, the full jackpot will go to lucky winner who bought their ticket in the Ocean State. No other winning tickets were sold in any of the other 41 states that participate in the Powerball game.
No one has come forward yet to claim the prize and Rhode Island Lottery officials won't say until at least Monday where the winning ticket was sold.
Lottery officials say high sales have driven the potential winnings up to this high level.
Eyewitness News caught up with people buying tickets Saturday, all of whom had different plans for the money if they won, ranging from paying off their mortgage to financing low-income housing for the less fortunate.
