NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Someone in Oregon beat the 140 million-to-one odds to win the biggest jackpot in lottery history -- $340 million.

The winning numbers were 1, 21, 43, 44, 49, and 29.

Marlene Meissner, spokeswoman for the Oregon lottery, says no one has yet come forward to claim the prize. "Hopefully, they are taking their time, getting over the shock and seeking some financial advice," she says.

The winner has a year to act.

The Powerball jackpot had been elevated to record heights by 20 consecutive weeks without a grand prize winner. The enormous pile of money fueled brisk business in lottery sales, contributing to the record winner's pool.

Second place finishers also benefited from the hot sales. That's because the increase in the grand prize from the last drawing had been capped at $25 million. Any extra cash generated by sales (that turned out to be $32 million) flowed into the runner-up Match Five bonus prize pool.

Matching five numbers usually results in a $200,000 payoff, but $32 million in added funds meant a winning Match Five ticket was instead worth $853,492. Nationwide, 49 players held winning Match Fives.

One of those Match Five winners turned out to be a U.S. senator from New Hampshire – Senator Judd Gregg. According to Maura McCann of the New Hampshire lottery office, the senator bought his winning ticket in Washington D.C.
