Dow Jones Description

In 1984, Oregon voters passed an initiative creating the Oregon Lottery . Oregonians wanted the opportunity to play lottery games as well as use the profits from those games to help strengthen Oregon's then struggling economy. In 1991, the Oregon Legislature, State Police and Attorney General's office wanted to eliminate the 10,000 gaming machines that were operating illegally in Oregon. To accomplish this, the Oregon Legislature directed the Lottery to begin offering video gaming and to oversee and manage this type of gaming. Benefits of the Lottery's involvement to Oregon include: - Generating revenue for state programs. - Ensuring the games run honestly and fairly. - Ensuring that taxes are paid on income earned from Video LotterySM sales.
