Oregon Lottery

Operates state lottery generating public funds

Overview

Oregon Lottery raises public funds by selling lottery games in Oregon. It offers scratch-offs, Keno, Powerball, Mega Millions, Video Lottery Terminals, and sports betting through DraftKings. State law requires at least 50% of revenue be paid out as prizes, with at most 16% for administration (usually under 4%), and the rest funds state programs such as education, parks, resources, veteran services, and problem-gambling support. Its goal is to maximize profits for the people of Oregon while operating under high security and integrity as a public trust.
