PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) -- Well, you didn't win the billion-dollar Powerball jackpot -- unless you're going to be introduced at an Oregon Lottery press conference Monday afternoon.
The person who won the $1.3 billion Powerball after buying a ticket at a Portland Plaid Pantry will be revealed and answer questions from the media at 1 p.m.
KOIN 6 News will be there and will have the latest details.
The winning ticket — 22, 27, 44, 52, 69 and the red Powerball 9 — was sold at the Plaid Pantry at 6060 NE Columbia Boulevard. Lottery officials, along with Plaid Pantry President/CEO Jonathan Polonsky, shared that $7.6 million will be transferred back to the state once the winnings are finalized.

One person has already come forward to claim the prize, but the “process involves security measures and vetting that will take time before a winner can be announced.”
The process to verify includes going through video surveillance and checking the person’s identification.
The finalization of the jackpot will also come with a $100,000 bonus for Plaid Pantry.
