Pop goes the jackpot: Oregon's newest lottery game simplifies winning

Oregon's lottery scene just got more exciting with the arrival of Cash Pop, a fresh draw game that strips away complexity and puts winning within reach every hour. This newcomer to the state's gaming lineup replaces Lucky Lines, bringing a straightforward approach to lottery play.

The beauty of Cash Pop lies in its simplicity. Players pick one number between 1 and 15, then wait to see if their choice pops up in the next drawing. With 16 daily drawings running from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. PT, winning opportunities come around as often as hourly.

Playing your way

Cash Pop puts you in control of your game. Start by picking your stake - $1, $2, $5, or $10. Your wager determines your potential prize, which is randomly assigned when you buy your ticket. The minimum win starts at five times your stake, with the potential to win up to $2,500 on a $10 play.

Tina Erickson, Oregon Lottery's product manager, said:

Cash Pop offers our players something they've been asking for – a chance to win more frequently. The game is simple and fun. Your favorite number could result in a prize between $5 and $2,500.

As the 16th state to introduce Cash Pop, Oregon adds this fast-paced game to its lottery portfolio. The game's success in other states, including North Carolina's recent launch, suggests Oregon players are in for a treat.

How to play

• Pick your number between 1 and 15
• Choose your wager amount

• $5 plays pay 67.23%
• $10 plays pay 70.01%

Smart play tips

Remember to sign the back of your ticket immediately after purchase. Winners have one year to claim their prizes. If you hit a major prize, consider consulting with a financial planner before claiming your winnings.
