Oregon Lottery Scratch-it tickets are easy-to-give and make for a fun, last-minute surprise. This year’s Scratch-its feature six new designs, ranging from “Merry & Bright” to “Reindeer Games.” The tickets make popular stocking stuffers and can be found at Oregon Lottery retailers across the state.
There is one important consideration for gift givers – make sure the gift's recipient is at least 18 years old.
“When it comes to holiday gifts, adults don't have to be left out of the fun,” said Stacy Shaw, Oregon Lottery’s senior manager of product marketing. “This year, don’t forget about the deserving aunt, friend, or neighbor on your list. Our festive Scratch-its make a perfect one-size fits all gift for adults to adults.”
Throughout the year, the Oregon Lottery and lotteries worldwide partner with the National Council on Problem Gambling to promote gifting lottery tickets responsibly. The Oregon Lottery has been part of this annual campaign for over a decade. In addition, Oregon Lottery helps fund free, confidential, and effective counseling and treatment programs statewide. Visit OPGR.org for more information.
For those over 18 picking up Scratch-its, winning tickets range from a few dollars to the “Merry & Bright” top prize of $200,000. Use the Oregon Lottery mobile app to see if you won and enter non-winning tickets into the free Second Chance drawings. Regardless of the outcome, lottery games help fund programs that Oregonians care about.
Since the Oregon Lottery began selling tickets on April 25, 1985, it has earned approximately $16.5 billion for economic development, public education, outdoor school, state parks, veteran services, and watershed enhancements. Since 1992, over $118 million in Lottery dollars has been directed to fund problem gambling treatment and awareness in Oregon. For more information on the Oregon Lottery visit www.oregonlottery.org.
