The Proud Legacy of Tribal Veterans

Native Americans have a long and distinguished history of military service, demonstrating exceptional bravery and making profound sacrifices. Despite a long, painful history of challenges with the United States government, Native Americans have served in the U.S. Armed Forces at some of the highest rates per capita of any ethnic group, which accounts for about one-and-a-half percent of our state’s approximately 266,000 veterans.

Lottery Industry
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.

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.
