Several prominent lottery courier services operate in Oregon and allow players to buy lottery tickets online from anywhere in the state:
Although the Oregon Lottery doesn’t endorse lottery couriers, it is aware of their operations and has never moved to prohibit them. Lottery couriers purchase official tickets from local retailers, and as the Oregon Lottery has noted, every one of its top retailers is associated with a courier service.
More importantly, players should know that the Oregon Lottery does not regulate third-party couriers or take responsibility for lost or stolen tickets. That means it’s critical to only choose reputable and well-known lottery courier apps in Oregon.
Oregon Lottery App Review
Players can download the Oregon Lottery app for iOS or Android to check tickets for winners, see where to buy specific games, set a responsible gambling timer, enable custom jackpot notifications, and more.
Overall, the Oregon Lottery app compares favorably to other states’ official lottery apps. User reviews on the App Store and Google Play Store are overwhelmingly positive, which is rare for state lottery apps.
One annoying thing about the Oregon Lottery app is that it requires players to sign up for accounts to use the ticket scanner. Worse yet, the app doesn’t remember players’ login info, so they must manually enter their username and password every time they want to scan a ticket unless they have a third-party password manager.
The Oregon Lottery app also deserves credit for its emphasis on responsible gambling, a topic that many state lotteries neglect and only mention in passing. In contrast, the Oregon Lottery app highlights responsible gambling and even provides tools to help players track and manage their play.
- Ticket Scanner: The Oregon Lottery ticket scanner can check draw game tickets and scratch-its for winners; submit non-winning tickets into second chance drawings
- Custom Notifications: Set custom notifications and jackpot alerts for your favorite lottery games
- Live Keno Drawings: Buy keno tickets at any Oregon Lottery retailer and play along through the app’s live keno draws
- Exclusive Promos: Players who download the Oregon Lottery app and sign up for accounts gain access to exclusive promotions launched only through the app
- Scratch-Its Info: View every available Oregon Lottery scratch-off ticket and its rules, odds of winning, top prizes remaining, and which retailers carry that game
- Responsible Gambling Tools: Set a budget, calculate your spending rate, and set a timer to remind you to keep your play within budget.

Oregon State Lottery Overview
The Oregon Lottery was authorized in 1984 and established the following year. Since then, it has raised billions of dollars for a variety of state programs such as education, economic development, state parks, watershed enhancement, and veteran services.
Oregon Lottery customers can purchase tickets to multi-state drawings such as Powerball and Mega Millions, state-level games such as Megabucks and Win for Life, and scratch-off tickets.
The lottery also maintains a network of video lottery terminals throughout the state. These games closely resemble slots but work based on different internal mechanics.
The Oregon Lottery has, for a long time, taken an open-minded approach to gaming. For instance, the Oregon Lottery was one of just several state lotteries to offer sports betting games before and during the federal sports betting prohibition.
After the Supreme Court ended the federal sports betting prohibition in 2018, the Oregon Lottery took advantage of the situation and began drawing up plans to authorize full-on sports betting.
The Oregon Lottery itself does not sell tickets or scratch-off games online, but it did authorize third-party lottery courier services to purchase tickets on behalf of customers beginning in April 2020.
