Oregon Lottery: Oregon Lottery draws St. Patrick's Raffle
Rating:
The Oregon Lottery yesterday held the state's third raffle drawing — the second it has held on St. Patrick's Day.
The appropriately-named St. Patrick's Day Raffle resulted in one new millionaire and over one thousand other prize winners.
A complete list of winning numbers for the drawing can be found at Lottery Post's Oregon Lottery Results page (www.lotterypost.com/results/or).
The game has a total of 1,011 cash prizes, with a top prize of $1 million cash.
Raffle tickets went on sale earlier this year, and cost $10 each. The complete inventory of 250,000 tickets was sold out prior to the drawing.
All $100 prizes can be paid at any Lottery retail location, but the $20,000 prizes and the $1 million grand prize must be collected at the Lottery office at 500 Airport Road SE in Salem during regular business hours or by mail (registered mail recommended).
Winners have one year from March 17, 2010 to claim their prize.
The limited number of tickets available gave players better odds than traditional lottery games such as Megabucks and Powerball. And unlike those games, the raffle guaranteed there would be winners.
