$336 Million Powerball Jackpot: $1 Million Winning Ticket Bought in Wisconsin, Rhode Islander To Claim Grand Prize

Lottery officials announced that someone from Rhode Island, who played the enormous Powerball lottery game, won the $336.4 million jackpot. However, another $1 million ticket was sold in Brookfield, Wis., a suburb of Milwaukee.

The Brookfield ticket reportedly had the five regular numbers, but not the Powerball. The lucky ticket matched all five numbers and the Powerball number won the $336.4 million jackpot . The sole winner, however, has not stepped forever to claim the prize, reported the AP.

The prize was the third highest in the Powerball lottery. Because of rising sales and a price increase from $1 to $2, the jackpot dramatically increased, nearly doubled, from $173.5 million on Feb. 1 to $336.4 million, reported the AP. Before the price increase, having five numbers earned a lucky winner approximately $200,000, reported Madison.com.
