Portland woman claims $1 million lotto ticket

06:02 PM PST on Friday, November 21, 2008

PORTLAND, Ore. -- A Portland woman got the shock of a lifetime when she found out the size of her Oregon lottery jackpot.

Maria Schaffrinna won $1 million in the Nov. 17 drawing. Lottery officials said she showed up at the office thinking she matched only five numbers to win $600, but six actually matched.

She bought her winning ticket at Fred Meyer on Hawthorne. The winning numbers were 5-24-32-34-36-39.

Schaffrinna chose the one-time payment equal to one-half the advertised Megabucks jackpot, before state and federal taxes were withheld.

 Also: $12.5 million winner

Last week, St. Helens resident 61-year-old Rodney Schwirse claimed a $12.5 million jackpot.
