Update: This story has been updated with information from the Oregon Lottery
A winning Powerball ticket for the $1.326 billion jackpot was sold in Oregon, lottery officials said early Sunday morning.
“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 announcement came after an error with one of the state's participating in the game forced officials to delay the drawing for several hours.
The numbers were scheduled to be rolled at 11 p.m. ET Saturday, but the Multi-State Lottery Association issued a statement shortly after saying "pre-draw procedures" were not completed, forcing the delay.
The winning numbers were ultimately drawn about 2:30 a.m. ET Sunday.
What were the Powerball winning numbers?
The Powerball winning numbers for Saturday April 6 were 22, 27, 44, 52 and 69 with a Powerball of 9. The Power Play was 3X.
The numbers were drawn about 2:30 a.m. ET Saturday following a delay due to an error in one state.
Winning lottery numbers are sponsored by Jackpocket, the official digital lottery courier of the USA TODAY network.
Previous Powerball winners in Oregon
The last time a Powerball jackpot was won in 2018 when a man in Salem won $150.4 million. The largest jackpot won in Oregon before Sunday came in 2005 when a resident won $340 million, according to the press release.
Sunday's winner has one year to claim the prize. Oregon does not allow winners to claim anonymously.
