“I want to congratulate the winner on this life changing moment. No one in Oregon has ever won a prize on this scale, and it’s very exciting for our staff and players,” Oregon Lottery Director Mike Wells said in a Sunday press release.

The winning numbers were ultimately drawn about 2:30 a.m. ET Sunday.

The numbers were drawn about 2:30 a.m. ET Saturday following a delay due to an error in one state.
