UPDATE: Sunday, February 12, 2012

Lottery officials say someone who played the Powerball in Rhode Island 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.

Because of rising sales, the jackpot more than doubled from $173.5 million on Feb. 1.

Powerball is played in 42 states, Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Saturday’s estimated Powerball jackpot climbed to $325 million after no player claimed the grand prize in Wednesday night's drawing.

Tonight's drawing marks the largest cash jackpot ever—$202.9 million. The jackpot is the third-largest Powerball jackpot ever and the fastest-accruing amount since the game increased its ticket price from $1 to $2 January 15. Should someone win this weekend, they can choose to receive a $325 million annuity or opt to receive $202.9 million in cash before taxes.

It’s been since December of last year that a player matched all six Powerball numbers in Pennsylvania and collected the $128 million jackpot. The largest Powerball jackpots ever were: $365 million, hit in Nebraska in 2006; $340 million, hit in Oregon in 2005; and $314.3 million, hit in Indiana in 2007.

Powerball is played in 42 States, Washington D.C. and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
