A single ticket sold in Portland, Oregon, won Saturday’s $1.326 billion Powerball jackpot, the lottery said.
The numbers drawn for Saturday night’s jackpot were 22, 27, 44, 52 and 69, with a Powerball of 9, the lottery said.
The winner will have the option to take a cash payment of $621 million, Powerball said.
“This is our first winner on this scale so this is very exciting for us,” Melanie Mesaros spokesperson for the Oregon Lottery told ABC News on Sunday.
Mesaros said only the Portland zip code where the ticket was sold, 97218, will be released at this time until the winner comes forward.
The winner has a year to come forward, according to Mesaros. “We don’t know who has the ticket in their hands at this moment,” Mesaros said.
