Veterans’ Stories
Meet an Oregon Lottery Employee and Vet
Scott Knight is one of many Oregon Lottery employees who bring their military skills and experience to work and, in the process, help make our workplace a better place.
Like many, Scott joined the military because he wasn’t sure what he wanted to do after high school. He felt that joining the army would help him build character, and also give him more options after finishing his commitment to the military. After serving his country for 14 years, he looks back on that time with fondness. He’s grateful that there is mental health care available to veterans, and that the Lottery helps fund it.
