13 Feb 2012 by Seth Rotherham in 2oceansvibe Lottos
The US Powerball had its third largest single winner ever this weekend, with one lucky punter taking home $336 Million, which works out to over R2,5 Billion.
This, from MSNBC:
Lottery officials say someone who played the Powerball 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.
Because of rising sales, the jackpot more than doubled from $173.5 million on Feb. 1.
