Big news for lottery lovers! The Powerball jackpot has increased to a whopping $82 million for the upcoming drawing on Saturday, April 12. Why the high-flying numbers? Well, no one managed to snag the jackpot during the Wednesday night drawing. But don’t fret, there’s still time to join in on this exciting game of chance!
For those lucky enough to match all five white balls plus the Powerball, there’s also an enticing one-time cash payment option available—this time, it’s a cool $36.7 million. Talk about life-changing money!
Oregon has been on a winning streak lately! Just this year, Cheng “Charlie” Saephan made headlines when he won the first jackpot of 2025, taking home an incredible $328.5 million prize on January 18. And that’s not all! Another winner matched all six numbers on March 29, bringing home an astounding $527 million jackpot. Talk about a lucky state!
The winning numbers for the upcoming Saturday drawing are 16, 22, 44, 45, 53, and the Powerball is 19. If you haven’t gotten your ticket yet, perhaps it’s time to swing by your local convenience store, gas station, or grocery store. These tickets only cost $2 and can even be purchased online in some states!
Each player picks six numbers: five from the white balls (ranging from 1 to 69) and one from the red Powerball (ranging from 1 to 26). Want to boost your winnings? Consider the “Power Play” option which costs an extra $1 and can multiply your non-jackpot prize winnings by 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, or even 10X!
If no one wins the jackpot this time around, the cash prize will keep climbing, making it even more enticing for future drawings. Who doesn’t love a little suspense in their life?
Did you know that the Oregon Lottery has been selling tickets since April 25, 1985? It has successfully raised over $16.5 billion for various public services in the state. Now that’s something to feel good about while dreaming of winning big!
Among last year’s jackpot winners was Cheng Saephan, who hit the jackpot with a remarkable win of $1.3 billion, marking the largest jackpot in Oregon’s history and the fourth largest in Powerball history. After his life-changing victory, he and his wife shared the winnings with a close friend, resulting in a significant after-tax lump sum of over $422 million.
Saephan’s inspiring story doesn’t end there. He has been fighting cancer since 2016, having undergone two surgeries. Today, he continues to focus on his health, ensuring that he spends less time worrying about finances. With his lottery ticket win, he has indulged in a new home and even purchased a rare metallic, neon Lamborghini. But it’s not just personal delights for him; he has also invested in local apartments and supported a beloved Thai restaurant group. How generous!
The positive vibes don’t stop with winners, either! The Fred Meyer store in Beaverton, where a winning ticket was sold, will receive $100,000 just for selling the ticket. They are also donating $50,000 to the Oregon Food Bank, making a happy win into some community goodness.
So mark your calendars, grab your tickets, and good luck to all participants for this exciting Saturday night drawing!
