A lucky winner in Oregon is $1.3 billion richer after Saturday’s Powerball drawing…but who exactly is the newest billionaire remains a mystery.
The winning numbers of 22-27-44-52-69 with a Powerball of 9 were drawn on April 6. According to lottery officials, there was a lone jackpot winner in the Beaver State.
The lump sum prize is $621 million before taxes, though the winner will have an option of 29 annual payments as well for the full jackpot.
The lottery drawing, initially set for 11pm, was delayed to complete the required procedures before announcing the numbers.
