Salem, Ore. — The ticket matching all six Powerball numbers in Saturday’s $328.5 million Powerball jackpot was sold at the Fred Meyer store located at 15995 SW Walker Road in Beaverton. That store will receive a bonus of $100,000 for selling the jackpot winner. In celebration of this stroke of good luck, Fred Meyer is making a sizeable donation to a local food bank.
A ticket holder came forward on Wednesday to claim the prize. Because the Powerball game involves multiple states, it will take time before a winner can be announced and the prize money can be paid to the claimant. This jackpot win comes less than a year after a Portland man, his wife, and their friend won a Powerball jackpot worth $1.3 billion in April.
“I’m thrilled to be celebrating another large Powerball jackpot win in Oregon,” said Oregon Lottery Director Mike Wells. “The impact of a win like this not only benefits our state as whole but has a ripple effect in our local communities.”
In honor of Fred Meyer’s Zero Hunger | Zero Waste social impact strategy — aimed at eliminating waste and ending hunger — the store will donate $50,000 to the Oregon Food Bank.
“Our partnership with Fred Meyer is vital in ensuring families don’t have to choose between essentials such as putting food on the table or a roof over their heads,” said Andrea Williams, Oregon Food Bank President. “Their support helps provide nourishing food that feels like home to our communities. We know that now is a moment when Oregon can lead the way in making sure our communities are supported and connected, because no one should be hungry.”
“Hunger and food insecurity are critical issues across the state,” said Fred Meyer President Todd Kammeyer. “We hope these funds will help feed families across the community as we work to end hunger in Oregon.”
Fred Meyer has sold other large Oregon Lottery prizes recently, including a $1 million Powerball in November 2023 and $7.9 million Megabucks win in November 2022.
Since the Oregon Lottery began selling tickets on April 25, 1985, it has earned nearly $16.5 billion for economic development, public education, outdoor school, state parks, veteran services, and watershed enhancements. For more information on the Oregon Lottery visit www.oregonlottery.org.
