This guy won the Washington lottery for 9.3 million not the Oregon lottery. I saw it on the news this afternoon he did not win anything from the Oregon lottery. Must have been a typo.

Idaho man, 22, wins Powerball lottery jackpotReply
It's nice to see younger people win since it's usually someone whose middle aged that hits the Jackpot.

It's been so long since someone from Oregon has won Powerball.

I sure would like to see a small state win the powerball this time like Oregon. Say in the Willamina/Sheridan area of the state. But if not Oregon then Idaho. One of the Powerball states on the west side of the Powerball game.
