The unprecedented $1.8 billion Powerball jackpot was won on Sunday by people in Missouri and Texas, but two Oregonians won big this week on smaller lottery tickets.
On Sunday, one Oregon person was among the 20 winners of a $1 million Powerball drawing. Melanie Mesaros, an Oregon Lottery spokesman, could not specify where the winning ticket was sold on Sunday but said further information would be available on Monday.
