Maria Salas Laris of Medford, Oregon was bored of being confined to her
house during the state's stay-at-home order - but her day got a lot
brighter when she picked up a Scratch-it ticket worth $50,000.Get more

We normally play Video Lottery, and when we went to the market we saw the Scratch-its and decided to play,” she said.
She decided to try the Lucky Lemons game - and trying something new
turned out to be a great idea. “The first ticket we played was the
winner. I was in shock – I am still in shock.”
Her $5.00 Lucky Lemons Scratch-it had turned out to be a $50,000
winner, giving Salas Laris the down payment on a property she is looking
to buy. “I haven’t been able to sleep, I’m so excited,” she said. “I
have a down payment now, it’s great.”
Salas Laris purchased her winning ticket at the Minute Market at
1217 West Stewart Avenue in Medford. After mailing in her claim, she
visited Oregon Lottery headquarters in Salem to receive her check.
Although the lottery's Salem and Wilsonville offices are closed to
the public, players who win large prizes are still able to claim in
person with an appointment.
“Basically what we’re doing right now is if players win $50,000 or
more we ask that they call and then we schedule an appointment,” lottery
spokesman Patrick Johnson said.
The lottery has put social distancing measures in place so prizes
can be redeemed safely when winners visit. Salas Laris was able to have
her picture taken with her "big check" as a staff member jokingly handed
it to her with a grabber tool to maintain the required amount of space.
