Veterans’ Stories

Meet an Oregon Lottery Employee and Vet

Ken Pesnell is one of many Oregon Lottery employees who bring their military skills and experience to work and, in the process, help make our workplace a better place.

For Ken, Naval service meant learning skills and gaining work experience that he could eventually use outside of the military. Technology is ever adapting, and Ken has adapted with it. He’s brought skills that he learned while he served to his employment here at the Lottery. While he hasn’t yet used veteran benefits himself, he’s grateful they were available for his daughter; she was discharged as a disabled veteran after also serving her country.
