Oregon Lottery: Oregon store owner gives share of lottery prize to the schoolsThe owner of a Medford, Oregon, grocery store has donated his share of an $800,000 lottery prize to two elementary schools.
Sherm's Thunderbird market received $4,000 for selling the winning ticket, but owner Sherm Olsrud split the money into two equal gifts of $2,000 to a pair of elementary schools.
Olsrud says the schools need the money because both are located in low income areas of town and that many children get their only meals at school.
Schools officials say they will use the money to improve their buildings.
