Lottery Funds Support Economic Growth<\/h1>\n <\/div>\n \n
\n

When the Oregon Lottery was founded in 1984, it was with a single mission\u2014 to create a source of revenue to support Oregon\u2019s struggling economy.<\/p>\n

Today, almost 26% of Lottery funds are allocated for job creation and economic growth, assisting a variety of Oregon\u2019s industries. 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.<\/p>\n

Lottery dollars play a vital role helping support thousands of projects across the state and in every one of Oregon\u2019s 36 counties, every single year. They help Oregon continue to thrive, both today and for future generations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n
