Oregon Lottery’s $1m raffle expected to sell out for sixth consecutive year

Key Points
- The contest features a one-in-250,000 chance to win the $1m top prize, having originally debuted as part of the Oregon Lottery portfolio during 2009
- The winning raffle numbers will be released on March 14, including 300 prizes of $500, 1,500 prizes of $100 and a “variety” of others
The Oregon Lottery is expecting its annual $1m grand prize raffle to once again sell out prior to the winning numbers being released on March 14, as the only year in which all tickets were not sold was due to extended ice and power outages during 2019.
As of March 5, roughly 23,000 tickets remain, whereas last year all tickets had been sold by March 8, 2024. The raffle has consistently sold all available tickets since joining the Oregon Lottery portfolio during 2009.
The contest features a one-in-250,000 chance to win the $1m top prize, also including 300 prizes of $500, 1,500 prizes of $100 and a “variety” of others according to Oregon Lottery.
Winners of the $500 and $100 prizes will be able to claim the winnings at any Oregon Lottery retail location, but the $1m raffle prize winner will need to make an appointment with the Oregon Lottery offices in either Salem or Wilsonville.
Good to know: The Oregon Lottery reported that more than 456,000 bets were placed by residents of the state through DraftKings sportsbook during Super Bowl LIX on february 9, resulting in a total wager amount of nearly $8.3m
The Oregon Lottery also began highlighting Problem Gambling Awareness Month on March 3 by participating in the 2025 program, Seeking Understanding, which aims to encourage empathy, reduce barriers to treatment and provide support to those affected by gambling-related harm.
By participating in the annual campaign, Oregon Lottery will collaborate with both local and national organizations to promote prevention, treatment and recovery services.
