A person with a ticket matching all six Powerball numbers in Saturday’s $1.3 billion jackpot came forward Monday to claim the prize, Oregon officials said.

The lottery ticket was purchased at a Plaid Pantry convenience store in the northeast part of the city, Oregon Lottery said in a statement.

Oregon Lottery is working with the person in a process that involves security measures and vetting that will take time before a winner is announced.

“This is an unprecedented jackpot win for Oregon Lottery,” Oregon Lottery Director Mike Wells said in the statement. “We’re taking every precaution to verify the winner before awarding the prize money.”

    I meant on average once a month. Come on.

        I never said I didn’t have habits. I said I don’t have vices.

          It’s technically poison. So if you have a habit of drinking poison, that’s a bad habit. Which is a vice.

            Once a month on average is not a habit. A habit is a regular thing.

                No? Some months I might have one drink, some months I might have three, some months I might have none at all. That’s what ‘on average’ means.

                In other word, it is not habitual. It is occasional.

                If you go to the movies five or six times a year, are you a habitual movie-goer?

                  You can try to change the word, but I am not falling for it. If you go to the movies 5 or 6 times a year, you have a habit of going to the movies. If you drink 5 or 6 glasses of poison a year, that would be a bad habit, and also a vice.

                    That is not what habit means.

                    Going to the movies 5 or 6 times a year is neither settled nor regular.
