Update: This story has been updated with information from the Oregon Lottery

“I want to congratulate the winner on this life changing moment. No one in Oregon has ever won a prize on this scale, and it’s very exciting for our staff and players,” Oregon Lottery Director Mike Wells said in a Sunday press release.
The announcement came after an error with one of the state's participating in the game forced officials to delay the drawing for several hours.

The winning numbers were ultimately drawn about 2:30 a.m. ET Sunday.

The numbers were drawn about 2:30 a.m. ET Saturday following a delay due to an error in one state.
