BEAVERTON, Ore. (KATU) — The first Powerball jackpot of 2025, worth $328.5 million, was sold in Beaverton. The winning ticket for Saturday’s drawing was purchased on January 17 in the 97006 zip code.

The winner has one year to come forward and claim their prize. Once a claimant signs up, it will take time for a winner to be identified due to security and payment processes. Under state law, players in Oregon, with few exceptions, cannot remain anonymous.

The largest Powerball prize ever won in Oregon was last year’s $1.3 billion jackpot, which was split between a Portland man, his wife and a friend.

About one-third of sales from the game will be returned to state beneficiaries to support economic development, education, veterans services, state parks and more. Retailers who sell lottery tickets also earn commissions from the boost in ticket sales and bonus payments for lower-level winnings.

For example, an Oregon dealer selling a $1 million ticket would earn a $10,000 bonus.

The location of the retailer where the actual ticket was sold will not be revealed until a winner has been announced due to security protocols.
