Imagine winning a lottery jackpot worth more than Taylor Swift’s net worth! Well, one fortunate Powerball ticket holder doesn’t have to dream anymore. Â
The Oregon Lottery draw on Saturday (April 6) birthed a new billionaire, potentially rivaling even Taylor Swift herself. Â
Swift, known for her chart-topping hits and lavish lifestyle, could’ve seen her throne challenged by the sudden wealth of the Oregon lottery winner. Â
With the staggering sum of $1.326 billion up for grabs, the alleged winner emerged on Monday (April 8) to lay claim to the life-changing prize. Â
Whether opting for the lump sum of $621 million or spreading the wealth over 30 years, the winner won’t quite match Swift’s net worth, but who’s counting? Â
 Taxes will take their slice, but with a windfall of this magnitude, financial worries are a thing of the past for the fortunate recipient. Â
The anticipation built as technical glitches delayed the drawing, but the moment finally arrived, and a ticket holder stepped into the limelight. Â
 Lottery Director Mike Wells hailed it as an unprecedented win, emphasizing the meticulous process of verifying the lucky recipient. Â
The winning ticket’s origin? None other than the Plaid Pantry at 6060 NE Columbia Boulevard in Portland, a humble spot now graced with a touch of fortune. Â
The store’s good fortune doesn’t end there; a hefty $100,000 bonus awaits as a token of appreciation. Â
Jonathan Polonsky, President and CEO of Plaid Pantry, expressed elation at the news, highlighting the symbiotic relationship with the Oregon Lottery. Â
 And it seems luck is a frequent visitor to Plaid Pantry; past jackpots include a $3.3 million Megabucks win, beckoning hopefuls to try their luck.
