View Date:2024-12-23 21:37:15
A person in Oregon has come forward as the winner of Saturday's $1.326 billion Powerball jackpot.
The Powerball jackpot was won by a single ticket in Oregon after Saturday's delayed drawing, lottery officials announced.
In a press release posted Sunday, officials said the Oregon Lottery is working with the ticket holder who came forward on Monday to claim the prize, adding that the process involves security measure and vetting that will take time before a winner can be announced.
No additional details have been provided about the person who came forward.
With a few exceptions, winning players in Oregon cannot remain anonymous. This was the largest Powerball prize ever won in the state, beating $340 million Powerball jackpot win in 2005. The Powerball was last won in Oregon in 2018, when a Salem man won $150.4 million.
The winning ticket was sold at a Plaid Pantry on Columbia Boulevard in Portland. The convenience store will receive a $100,000 bonus for selling the jackpot-winning ticket, the Oregon Lottery said.
“This is an unprecedented jackpot win for Oregon Lottery,” Oregon Lottery Director Mike Wells said in a statement. “We’re taking every precaution to verify the winner before awarding the prize money, which will take time.”
Saturday's winning jackpot was the fourth largest jackpot in Powerball history and the eighth-largest jackpot ever won in the U.S.
