Oregon Lottery Invites Players to ‘Discover’ Oregon State Parks

Salem, Ore. – Oregon Lottery is highlighting the natural beauty of the state with a new “Discover Oregon State Parks” Scratch-it ticket. The ticket, which comes in three colors, stands out with clean, minimalist artwork that reflects the geographic diversity of Oregon’s state parks.

Created by Oregon Lottery staff to appeal to anyone who loves getting outside, the $5 tickets feature icons of landmarks and fauna and a top prize of $40,000. The Scratch-its are available at Oregon Lottery retailers statewide.

“Oregon’s state parks showcase the best of our state, from rugged coastline to deep forests and mountain peaks,” said Oregon Lottery Director Mike Wells. “We take pride in celebrating and supporting our parks.”

Lottery game play helps ensure that our state parks are continuously maintained and improved, with Oregon State Parks receiving more than $1 billion in Lottery funds since 1999. It’s the fifth year in a row Lottery has partnered with State Parks to offer a themed ticket.

Since the Oregon Lottery began selling tickets on April 25, 1985, it has earned nearly $17.8 billion for economic development, public education, outdoor school, state parks, veteran services, and watershed enhancements. For more information on the Oregon Lottery, visit www.oregonlottery.org.
