A Local Gem in Dallas City Park Comes Back to Life

Saying thank you to Oregon’s amazing teachers.

For centuries, people have adored diamonds — they’re beautiful, sparkly, and so very rare. This desire has prompted dangerous expeditions in pursuit of more hidden treasure. And while it may be tough to uncover the big ones, any adult with $20 and a love of shiny things can capture a Diamond White 7s ticket. Diamond White 7s is a crown jewel of Oregon Lottery’s Scratch-its. With royal purple accents, it’s fit for a king or queen. It also boasts a regal top prize of $150,000. Unlike its namesake, you can scratch Diamond White 7s with the penny you found in the couch. After all, when you hunt for diamonds, it’s about the thrill of the hunt as much as the possibility of hitting paydirt.

There are few movie props more iconic than Dorothy’s ruby slippers in The Wizard of Oz. That recognizable red shade stands out on film — and in Scratch-its. A brilliant crimson is especially hard to miss when it comes with prizes like these. The top prize for Ruby Red 7s is an eye-popping $80,000! Will Ruby Red 7s be your ticket to a world of wonderment? Maybe! To find out, just click your heels together and give Ruby Red 7s a try.

Your mom always told you to get enough greens. But did she mean eating plenty of kale or scratching for stacks of cash on Emerald Green 7s? Either way, it’s great advice. Emerald Green 7s won’t add fiber to your diet, but it might bulk up your bank account. With a top prize of $40,000, this Scratch-it could win you a whole lot of lettuce. Going green is good for you. Pick up a veggie tray to boost your health and an Emerald Green 7s Scratch-it for a chance to boost your wealth.

From the deepest oceans to the clear sky above the clouds, some of Oregon’s most gorgeous sights share one feature: They’re blue! Think about it: Crater Lake is blue. The Pacific is blue. The sky on the first warm day of spring is very blue. Sapphire Blue 7s brings blue right to you, even when you can’t be out enjoying the cerulean waters of Wallowa Lake. A cool Scratch-it, Sapphire Blue 7s is a blast of fresh air that might even land you in the lap of luxury if you win the $8,000 top prize. Go ahead and teal your friends. The best sights are shared with your true-blue crew.

Put on your pump-up playlist and chug an electrolyte beverage. It’s time to kick some cash – which means you’ll need to be limbered up and ready to rock. Kickin’ Cash won’t require you break a board with your bare hand, but you will feel pretty powerful as you scratch in pursuit of prizes up to $2,000. But remember to stay disciplined like your teacher taught you – don’t miss the star symbol that means an instant $10. Start that swelling music and adjust your obi. There’s a montage of ticket scratching coming on when you get your hands on Kickin’ Cash.

A sty-full of fun, Video Lottery style!
