"Oregon Rakes in Millions from $1.3B Powerball Jackpot Ticket Sales"

Ticket sales from the $1.3 billion Powerball jackpot, resulting in a winning ticket bought at a Northeast Portland Plaid Pantry, have generated millions of dollars for Oregon. The Oregon Lottery officials stated that $7.6 million from ticket sales will fund public programs, with $1.8 million in commission going to retailers who sold the tickets. The winner, who bought the ticket at the Plaid Pantry, will go through a security and vetting process before being publicly identified and could take home about $330 million after taxes if they choose the cash option.
