CRANSTON, R.I. (AP) -- Rhode Island Lottery officials say the winning ticket in Saturday's $336.4 million Powerball jackpot was sold at a Stop & Shop supermarket in Newport.

Officials said Monday that no one has come forward yet to claim the prize.

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

A Stop & Shop spokeswoman had no immediate comment.

A lottery spokeswoman says the jackpot is the sixth largest in U.S. history. The top jackpot was a $390 million MegaMillions prize won in March 2007.

The ticket price for Powerball 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.
