Man in Iraq Wins $6.4 Million Oregon Lottery Jackpot

A man living in Iraq is the lucky winner of a $6.4 million jackpot, NBC News reported.

The man purchased the winning Megabucks lottery ticket from an international online lottery service, which was sold in Bend, Oregon, according to NBC affiliate KTVZ.

The lottery selling website, theLotter.com, sends people to buy lottery tickets for customers and charges a fee, lottery officials told KTVZ. They said it’s the first time this has ever happened in Oregon Lottery’s history.

The man chose to receive his jackpot over 20 years. His name is not being released to protect him in his homeland, KTVZ said.
