Lotteries long for 'jackpot fever'Reply
I did ask the Oregon lottery about future games being available like the game Hot Lotto and they said why would we offer Hot Lotto when we have an in-state game like Oregon Megabucks.

Oregon Lottery
I read some time ago that the Oregon legislature was considering allowing lottery winners to remain anonymous. I live in Idaho and would make the trip to play there if it passed, but I haven't been able to find any updates. Anyone know?

Last I knew there was a limit to how much you can withdraw per tr
