A Powerball ticket sold in Oregon won the $329 million jackpot, lottery officials say.

The ticket matched five winning Powerball numbers and Powerball, in the drawing Saturday, Jan. 18, the national Powerball site said.

The grand prize now falls to an estimated $20 million, with a cash value of about $8.9 million, for the next drawing Monday, Jan. 20, the site said.

The winning ticket was sold in Beaverton, which is about a 10-mile drive southwest from downtown Portland, the Oregon Lottery said in a news release.

The winning numbers were 14, 31, 35, 64 and 69 with a Powerball of 23, the lottery said. The Power Play multiplier was 2x.

More than 730,000 other Powerball tickets sold in the United States also won prizes ranging from $4 to $100,000, the lottery said.

The Powerball jackpot had not been hit since Dec. 7, when a New York player won the $256 million grand prize, lottery officials said.

What to know about Powerball

To score a jackpot in the Powerball, a player must match all five white balls and the red Powerball.

The odds of scoring the jackpot prize are 1 in 292,201,338.

Tickets can be bought on the day of the drawing, but sales times and price vary by state.

Drawings are broadcast Saturdays, Mondays and Wednesdays at 10:59 p.m. ET and can be streamed online.

Powerball is played in 45 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Many people can gamble or play games of chance without harm. However, for some, gambling is an addiction that can ruin lives and families.

If you or a loved one shows signs of gambling addiction, you can seek help by calling the national gambling hotline at 1-800-522-4700 or visiting the National Council on Problem Gambling website.
