Every County Gets Dollars
Every county in Oregon receives funds from the Oregon Lottery to help support their projects and programs. Since 1985 nearly $10 billion dollars have gone to support, job creation, schools, watersheds and state parks.
Teacher of the Year from Deschutes County
Since 1995 the Lottery has contributed over $6 billion to help fund education in all 36 Oregon counties. This year we partnered with the Department of Education to help sponsor the Oregon Teacher of the Year Award, which was awarded to Heather Anderson from Bend’s Juniper Elementary in Deschutes County. Heather and her school both received a $5,000 award. In addition, the two runners up for teacher of the year each received a $2,000 award.
