Lottery jackpots rise
Oregon Lottery’s draw
game jackpots are rising
as fast as the summertime
temperatures.
It’s the perfect time to
ask for the Oregon Lot-
tery’s $7 Jackpot Trio
when purchasing tickets.
With the trio you get all
three draw games, Or-
egon’s Game Megabucks,
Powerball and Mega
Millions with multiplier
options.
Oregon’s Game Mega-
bucks has grown to $5.4
million for Wednesday’s
drawing. This year, players
have won jackpots playing
the local draw game four
times, each time winning
between $4.2 million and
$7 million.
“In my experience the
jackpot normally gets hit
when it reaches between
$4 million and $7 mil-
lion,” said Patrick Johnson,
Lottery spokesman. “With
the multi-state draw games
having such a high jackpot,
don’t forget that Oregon’s
Game Megabucks is a lo-
cal game and I don’t know
anyone who would turn
down winning more than
$5 million.”
Also growing this week
is the multi-state draw
game Powerball, where
the jackpot will be at $261
million on Wednesday.
More than a dozen Orego-
nians have won $50,000 or
more so far in 2017, with
nearly half of them win-
ning $100,000, Johnson
said. The last Oregonian to
win a $1 million Powerball
prize was Steven Dery of
Coquille, when he won in
July 2016.
Meanwhile, the Mega
Millions jackpot also
continues to rise, reaching
$303 million for Tuesday’s
drawing. The last Orego-
nian to win $1 million on
the Mega Millions game
was Joemel Panisa from
Logsden, who discovered
his ticket while cleaning
his offi ce during an ice
storm last January. While
Oregon Lottery offi cials
are still waiting for the
state’s fi rst Mega Millions
jackpot winner, Oregon
Mega Millions players
have won more than $8.8
million in prizes of more
than $10,000 since the
game has been offered.
Lottery offi cials recom-
mend that you always sign
the back of your tickets
with each Oregon Lottery
game you play, to ensure
you can claim any prize
you may win.
