Mega Millions sales are over $7 million since the jackpot was last hit on April 18. Since the Powerball jackpot run up began in April, the Oregon Lottery has sold close to $17 million in tickets. It happened previously in 2021, when the Powerball climbed to $731.1 million, while Mega Millions was $1.05 billion and in 2018, when Powerball reached $687.8 million and Mega Millions was $1.537 billion. This is the third time ever that both Powerball and Mega Millions have advertised jackpots above $500 million simultaneously. Wednesday night’s Powerball drawing produced a $150,000 winner purchased in Cottage Grove and a $50,000 winner purchased in Lincoln City.
– Oregonians have two growing options when it comes to jackpot games: Powerball, which now stands at $875 million and Mega Millions, which has climbed to $560 million.
