In 1985, Oregon State Lottery tickets went on sale. First, the lottery featured an instant play game and then became a long time favorite, the jackpot play, Oregon's Game Megabucks.
A pioneering move came in 1992 when the Oregon Lottery became the first state to introduce Video Lottery Terminals, 24-hour-managed video lottery systems.
During its first decade, the Oregon Lottery used its net proceeds to support economic development and employment growth. Today's lottery dollars support an array of state investments, including parkland, habitat conservation, public education and veteran services, among others.
