Lottery Funds Support Economic Growth

When the bill that established the Oregon Lottery was passed in 1984, it was with a single mission— to create a source of revenue to support Oregon’s struggling economy.

Assisting Oregon’s Industries

Lottery dollars play a vital role helping support thousands of projects across the state and in every one of Oregon’s 36 counties, every single year. They help Oregon continue to thrive, both today and for future generations.

Lottery Funded Projects

Did you know...

Today, almost 26% of Lottery funds are allocated for job creation and economic growth.

These include manufacturing, high-tech, agriculture, fisheries, solar, medical, tourism, as well as small businesses.

The funded projects in turn help local communities in the form of employment and business expansion.

New worker wages then help support other business in the community. These benefits compound over time, extending the value of the projects well beyond the original investments.
