Lottery officials say someone who played the Powerball in Rhode Island has won the $336.4 million (€254.7m) jackpot.
The new multi millionaire has not stepped forward.
Because of rising sales, the jackpot nearly doubled from $173.5m on Feb 1.
Powerball is played in 42 states across America.
A lottery spokeswoman says that the jackpot is the sixth largest in US history. The largest was $390m.
