Oregon Lottery Commission

Oregon’s lottery is both a public trust and a market-driven business. Lottery dollars fund education, economic growth, state parks, natural habitats, veteran services, and Outdoor School. Dollars are also allocated to gambling addiction treatment and awareness throughout the state. The Oregon Lottery is the state’s second largest funding source after personal income tax, contributing over $12 billion to state funding since 1985. The organization runs a complex business that earns profits in a responsible way to reduce potential social costs such as gambling addiction.
