Compared to last year, the Oregon Lottery's sports betting revenues have increased almost 50%. Through the online betting platform DraftKings, sports gambling in Oregon has been on the rise since it was first legalized in 2019.

Saturday’s win was the eighth-largest jackpot in U.S. history. Approximately $7.6 million from the game will be returned to the state to support economic development, public education, outdoor school, state parks, veteran services and watershed enhancements.

In early January 2023, John Cheeks saw that the winning Powerball numbers online matched his lottery ticket. But when he tried to redeem the prize he was told it was a "mistake." Now, he's suing.

The jackpot is the world's second-largest lottery prize after rolling over for 36 consecutive drawings, since the last time someone won the top prize on July 19.

Michael Wells has been with the Oregon Lottery since 2019. Before joining the lottery office, Wells worked in local, state and federal law enforcement for more than two decades.

The Mega Millions prize has grown again to an estimated $1.35 billion after there was no winner of the lottery's latest giant jackpot. The prize for the next drawing is Friday night.

The Mega Millions jackpot increased to an estimated $940 million after another drawing Tuesday resulted in plenty of losers but not a single grand prize winner

Monday night's Powerball drawing has been delayed, as one participating lottery needs more time to carry out security procedures, lottery officials said.

It's been nearly a month since the winning numbers for one of the largest jackpots in Mega Millions history were pulled. But no one has come forward to claim the $1.34 billion prize yet.

A giant Mega Millions lottery jackpot ballooned to $1.02 billion after no one matched all six numbers Tuesday night and won the top prize. The numbers are: 07-29-60-63-66, with a Mega Ball of 15.
