Oregon Lottery Results

Oregon Lottery Games

Founded in April 1985, the Oregon Lottery has a selection of multi-jurisdictional and locally run games, including opportunities to win significant sums of money every day.

The Oregon Lottery is unique because it asks voters to specify how and where proceeds are spent. As of December 2021, the Oregon Lottery’s proceeds are to be distributed to public schools, job creation initiatives, Oregon State Parks and natural habitats, outdoor schools, veteran services and for problem-gambling support.

Powerball

Powerball is a world-famous lottery renowned for its long odds and often lucrative jackpots.

Powerball tickets cost $2.00, with players choosing five numbers between 1 and 69 plus a Powerball number between 1 and 26. Players can choose their numbers manually or go for a Quick Pick. A Power Play option is also available, costing $1.00 for the chance to multiply non-jackpot prizes by up to 10 times.

Players can add Double Play to their ticket for an additional $1.00 using the same set of chosen numbers, for an extra draw with a $10 million jackpot.

Mega Millions

Mega Millions is another world-renowned lottery that’s even harder to win than Powerball, but with a very similar format.

As with Powerball, tickets cost $2.00.

Players must choose five numbers between 1 and 70 and a Mega Ball number between 1 and 25, with a Quick Pick option also being available for those wishing to play with random selections. Mega Millions has an additional Megaplier option for $1.00 for the chance to multiply non-jackpot prizes by up to 10 times.

Keno

Keno has multiple entry and stake-based options, plus the opportunity to enhance the base prize by adding a prize multiplier.

Players must decide on how many numbers to match from 1 to 10, before choosing the relevant number of selections between 1 and 80. Quick Picks are available for random selections, with participants choosing a stake of $1.00, $2.00, $3.00, $4.00, $5.00, $10 or $20.

Players can add the following play options to their tickets:

• Special Keno at no extra charge, which enables players to win bigger top prizes but smaller lower-value prizes.
• Multiplier to double the initial stake, for the chance to multiply all prizes by up to 10 times.
• Bulls-Eye, which also doubles the initial stake for the chance to win bigger prizes and unlock additional prize tiers.

The maximum prize win from Keno is $1 million, irrespective of the add-ons included on the ticket.

Megabucks

Megabucks is a straightforward state lottery that costs just $1.00 to enter.

Players must choose six numbers from 1 to 48 or can go for a Quick Pick for random selections.

For an extra $1.00, a Kicker can be added to the ticket to multiply all non-jackpot winnings by four.

Win for Life

Win for Life is a popular lottery with 46 ways to win prizes on a single ticket. Entry costs $2.00.

Players must choose four numbers between 1 and 77 or can go for a Quick Pick to play with random selections. In addition to this entry, an additional 14 sets of numbers are displayed next to the potential prizes on offer, which can be won by matching all four numbers in a particular set. There are also fixed prizes for matching two or three numbers per set, or no numbers at all.

Note that only the first four chosen numbers can win the jackpot.

Lucky Lines

Lucky Lines is a tic-tac-toe type of game that costs $2.00 to enter.

Players must choose eight numbers: one number each from 1 to 4, 5 to 8, 9 to 12, 13 to 16, 17 to 20, 21 to 24, 25 to 28 and 29 to 32, with Quick Picks being available for random selections. These digits make up a tic-tac-toe board, and because the center square is free, players can win by matching just two numbers.

Prize payouts are based on how many lines are made against the winning numbers, with the jackpot being won by matching seven or eight lines.

Pick 4

Pick 4 has multiple entry options, with stakes of $0.50 or $1.00 being available.

Players must choose four numbers from 0 to 9, and because each number is chosen independently, the same number can be chosen repeatedly if desired. Participants then choose whether to bet on matching their numbers in the order drawn, in any order, or matching the first or last three numbers only in exact or any order.

Combo bets are also available, allowing players to choose two, three or four digits, for a ticket containing every possible combination of the chosen numbers.
