®’s latest Raffle game, the 4th of July Raffle
SM, goes on sale Sunday, May 16 giving players another chance to win the $1 million top prize! Tickets will be available beginning at 5 AM on Sunday, May 16, 2010.
The 4th of July Raffle marks the fourth Raffle game the Lottery has introduced. The 250,000 tickets offered during each of the previous three Raffle games sold out in 12, 11, and 10 days respectively. “The fast sell-out of our earlier Raffle games indicates that our players enjoy the Raffle games and look forward to each new opportunity to play,” said Interim Lottery Director Larry Niswender.
With just 250,000 tickets available, the 4th of July Raffle offers the best odds of any Lottery game of a $1 million top prize. In addition to the single $1 million top prize, the 4th of July Raffle game also offers these prizes:
- 10 prizes of $20,000
- 1,000 prizes of $100
The winning 4th of July Raffle numbers will be announced on Thursday, July 1, 2010.
Since the Oregon Lottery began selling tickets on April 25, 1985, it has earned nearly $7 billion for economic development, public education, state parks and watershed enhancements. For more information on the Oregon Lottery visit
