Two Oregon Retailers Sell Jackpot Wins In Same Drawing - 06/02/26

Salem, Ore. – For months, no tickets matched the winning numbers for Oregon's Game Megabucks and the jackpot continued to build to $11.1 million. But on April 13, after eight months without a win, two tickets matched all six numbers. 


One ticket was sold at US Market 180, located at 1709 Hill Street SE in Albany. It’s the first jackpot win for co-owners Rupinder Kaur and Parveen Sidhu, who earn a bonus check of $56,000 for selling the winning ticket. 


Kaur said her daughter works in the store and sold the winning ticket to one of their regular customers, who was excited about the big win. 


“She sold it and was also working when he scanned it in the store,” said Kaur. “She said to the customer, ‘Did you check your Megabucks ticket? Maybe you are the winner? Let’s find out together.’” 


The store has been an Oregon Lottery retailer since 2007. Kaur said they plan to use some of the bonus money to make upgrades, including adding a cooler for fresh food and upgrading their fountain soda machine to offer more options.


The second winning ticket was sold at the 7-Eleven store at 11111 SW Capitol Highway in Portland. That store also received a $56,000 bonus and the winner has claimed their prize.


Oregon’s Game Megabucks has some of the most favorable big prize jackpot game odds in the world. In 2025, a Eugene man was the winner of an $8.1 million Megabucks jackpot. The jackpot resets to $1 million after someone wins. 


The Oregon Lottery recommends that you sign the back of your ticket to ensure you can claim any prize. In the event of winning a jackpot, players should consult with a trusted financial planner or similar professional to develop a plan for their winnings. Players have one year from the date of a drawing to claim their prize.
