History of the Oregon Lottery & where the money goes
The Oregon Lottery was created by voters in 1984 and officially launched in April 1985.
The first tickets sold were instant-win Scratch-Its, followed later that year by Oregonās Game Megabucks.
Over time, the Lottery expanded to include multi-state games like Powerball and Mega Millions, as well as Video Lottery Terminals and Keno.
Today, it is one of the largest sources of non-tax revenue in the state.
Where the money goes
Lottery profits are directed to a variety of state programs that benefit communities across Oregon.
Proceeds help fund public education, state parks, natural resource conservation, economic development, veteran services, and problem gambling treatment.
Since 1995, millions have been allocated annually to preserve Oregonās salmon habitat, schools, and outdoor spaces.
Notable winners
Over the years, Oregon has seen some impressive lottery wins:
-
In 2005, the Chaney and West families shared a $340 million Mega Millions jackpot, the largest in Oregon history at the time.
-
In 2010, Carolyn McCullar won $48.8 million playing Oregonās Game Megabucks, one of the gameās biggest jackpots.
-

FAQs
How late can you buy lottery tickets in Oregon?
Ticket cut-off times depend on the game you are playing. For example, Powerball and Mega Millions tickets close at 7:00 PM PT on draw days, while Pick 4 tickets close just one minute before each draw. Always check the specific game schedule to avoid missing the deadline.
Which Oregon video lottery game has the best odds?
Video Lottery games in Oregon vary in odds depending on the type of game and the machine. Poker-based games often have higher return percentages compared to line games. Since outcomes are random, no single game guarantees better results every time.
Can a trust claim lottery winnings in Oregon?
Yes, it is possible to claim Oregon Lottery winnings through a legal trust. This can help winners manage their privacy, especially for large prizes. It is recommended to consult an attorney before setting up a trust for lottery claims.
Can Oregon Lottery winners remain anonymous?
By law, Oregon Lottery winners are considered part of the public record, which means names and prize amounts can be released. However, winners may choose to claim through a trust or other legal entity to protect their identity. Speaking with a lawyer can help you explore these options.
How long do you have to claim Oregon Lottery winnings?
You have 365 days from the date of the draw to claim prizes for draw games. For Scratch-Its, prizes must be claimed within one year of the gameās announced end date. Once the deadline passes, the prize is forfeited.
Can you buy Oregon Lottery tickets online?
Currently, Oregon Lottery draw game tickets cannot be purchased online. Players must buy them from authorized lottery retailers across the state. Some digital games, like sports betting, are available through the Lotteryās app.
What happens if I lose my Oregon Lottery ticket?
Lottery tickets are bearer instruments, meaning the person holding the ticket is the owner. If a winning ticket is lost, damaged, or stolen, the Lottery cannot replace it. Signing the back of your ticket immediately after purchase is the best way to protect your claim.
Are Oregon lottery rules different if you play online?
Only Second Chance tickets for Scratch-Its can be purchased online, and these follow the same rules as when purchasing from a retailer.
How long does it take to receive your prize if you win the Lottery?
Prize money can be paid straight away if you take your winning lottery ticket to an Oregon Lottery retailer. Larger wins over $50,000 will take a little extra time to process, while prizes from mailed tickets will typically take up to 14 days to be processed and sent back.
