Omaha - A lucky winner from Nebraska has netted $365m (about R2.193bn) in the biggest lottery jackpot in American history, but has yet to claim their prize, US lottery officials said on Sunday.
Only one winning ticket was sold for Saturday's jackpot, said the Powerball Web site.
No one had come forward to claim the jackpot early on Sunday, said Nebraska Lottery spokesperson Brian Rockey.
"We don't know if the winner knows yet," he said.
People with dreams of winning the record jackpot stood in long lines on Saturday to buy tickets that flew out of machines at dizzying speeds.
