TL;DR Summary

The winner of the $1.3 billion Powerball jackpot in Oregon remains unknown as their ticket is being verified, and arrangements for the massive payment are being made. The winning ticket was purchased at a convenience store in northeastern Portland, and the store will receive a $100,000 bonus for selling it. Oregon lottery officials are coordinating with the Multi-State Lottery Association to send the winner the sum, which will take time. The jackpot has a cash value of $621 million if the winner chooses a lump sum, and the prize is subject to federal and state taxes.
