The winner purchased the winning ticket in Beaverton on Thursday, Jan. 17, the Oregon Lottery said. The retail location will not be revealed until a winner has come forward.

The winning numbers for the Saturday drawing were: 14, 31, 35, 64 and 69 and Powerball 23.

The winner has a year to claim their prize, Oregon Lottery spokesperson Melanie Mesaros said. After the winning ticket is presented, “it will take time before a winner can be identified due to security and payment processes.”

Oregon lottery winners, with few exceptions, cannot remain anonymous, Mesaros said.

The winner will have a choice between an annuitized prize of $328.5 million or a lump-sum payment of $146.4 million, according to lottery officials, which are both options before taxes.

Last year, the largest Powerball prize won in Oregon — a $1.3 billion jackpot — was split between a Portland man, his wife, and friend.

Before Saturday, the most recent Powerball jackpot was sold in December in New York and was worth $256 million.

Powerball is a multi-state jackpot operated by 44 states, plus the District of Columbia, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.

Former Oregon WR Cameron Colvin arrested on federal fraud charges: Report


Former Oregon Ducks wide receiver Cameron Colvin has been arrested by the FBI on federal fraud charges, according to a report from Sportico.com.

Daniel Libit reported that Colvin, who played for Oregon from 2004 through 2007, was arrested Thursday morning and charged with fraud and transactional money laundering.

Libit reported that a nine-page federal indictment, filed on Oct. 21, accused Colvin of “defrauding individuals of more than $1.25 million through purported investment opportunities and personal relationships, including with women he was romantically involved with.”

Colvin overcame childhood tragedy to become a star football player at De La Salle High School in Concord, Calif.

His parents died during his teen years and never saw him sign with Oregon in 2004 as a five-star recruit or play for the Ducks.

After an unsuccessful attempt to establish an NFL career, Colvin entered the real estate world, later starting CamCo Commercial Inc. in Nevada.

Sportico reported in August that the FBI was investigating Colvin for alleged investment fraud schemes.

According to the Sportico report, Colvin has been sued for fraud numerous times by former employees, business partners and romantic partners.
