A summer vacation in Gold Beach paid off in a big way, when Bill Kinkade of Nevada matched all six numbers in the Aug. 12 MegabucksSM drawing, for a $12.2 million Megabucks jackpot prize.

Kinkade chose the Investment Plan for payment, when claiming his prize at the Lottery office in Salem, on Aug. 17. The Investment Plan for payment gives the player a one-time payment equal to one-half the advertised jackpot. Kinkade received a prize of $6.1 million before state and federal taxes were withheld. Kinkade became the Oregon Lottery®’s 222nd Megabucks millionaire. He purchased his winning ticket at the Crows Nest, in Gold Beach. His winning ticket was one of 14,815 winning tickets from the drawing.

Kinkade was on a fishing/camping trip with his wife in Gold Beach, when his wife took some time to do laundry. While his wife was busy with the laundry, Kinkade paid a visit to the Crows Nest to pick up some Megabucks tickets. Kinkade manually selected 10 sets of numbers. The winning numbers were 3-12-16-17-27-31.

Kinkade, who also enjoys playing Powerball, says more traveling, fishing trips and a possible new boat top his list of things to do with his prize money. Overall, Kinkade becomes the 269th Oregon Lottery millionaire.
