Oregon Lottery Numbers and Rules (September 2026)

Tonight's numbers, what a ticket costs in Oregon, which add-ons Oregon Lottery actually sells, and what all of that is worth — with the arithmetic shown.

Power Play is on sale in Oregon; Double Play is not, so an Oregon ticket tops out at $3 a line. At the jackpot standing after the September 16, 2026 draw, a $2 Powerball ticket bought in Oregon is worth $0.72, 36c on the dollar after Oregon's 8% withholding.

Oregon Lottery's own games

Oregon Lottery runs draw games of its own, and their results are not in our database yet — we publish a game only once two independent official sources agree on every draw in its history, and we have not built that for Oregon. Rather than republish a feed we have not checked, the page says so. Oregon Lottery publishes its own results here.

What is on this page instead is the part nobody else computes: what the multi-state games are worth under Oregon's rules, which is not what they are worth under anyone else's.

Oregon lottery questions

What lottery games can you play in Oregon?
Mega Millions and Powerball, plus Oregon Lottery's own draw games and scratch tickets. We publish the multi-state analysis and the Oregon rules; Oregon Lottery's own draw games are not in our database yet.
Does Oregon sell Power Play and Double Play?
Power Play, yes — $1 a play. Double Play, no: 30 of the 48 lotteries sell it and Oregon is not one of them, so a Oregon line tops out at $3.
How much tax does Oregon withhold from lottery winnings?
8% — withholds 8%; top rate 9.9% settled at filing, held back before the cheque is written and on top of 24% federal withholding. Withholding is not the final bill. The calculator works out what you would actually keep.
Which Oregon lottery game has the best odds?
Mega Millions, at 1 in 23.07 of winning something — though the prizes are correspondingly smaller, and winning often is not the same as winning much.
Where do these Oregon numbers come from?
The multi-state games are cross-checked against several official sources before we publish them. Every source is listed here. The Oregon rules on this page were read from powerball.com and Oregon Lottery on 2026-09-22.
