Rhode Island Lottery officials said Monday that the one winning Powerball ticket was sold at a Stop & Shop supermarket on Bellevue Avenue in Newport.

The winning numbers were 1-10-37-52-57, and the Powerball number was 11.

No one has stepped forward to claim Saturday's $336.4 million Powerball jackpot.  The lump sum payment would be $210 million.

A Stop & Shop spokeswoman had no immediate comment.

Rhode Island would collect about $12.5 million in taxes on the lump sum.

State lottery officials said the Newport store does not get a bonus for selling the winning ticket.  Rhode Island stores get 8 percent of ticket sales, which officials said is a higher percentage than other states.

A Powerball ticket for $10,000 was sold at a Stop & Shop on Mineral Spring Avenue in North Providence, and there was a $64,000 winner in Saturday night's Wild Money drawing. The ticket was sold at Brigido's in Scituate.

The Powerball jackpot was the third-largest in the game's history. The ticket price increased from $1 to $2 last month, and 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.
