Weera – Bend — 01/21/26

Chef by Day, Winner for Life by Luck

The only thing better than thinking you won $52,000 on a $2 ticket? Learning you actually won $52,000 — per year — for life!

Weera is a chef at a Thai restaurant in Bend, and he buys the occasional lottery ticket, trying out all the different draw games, and hoping for a bit of luck to strike. But his new favorite game has to be Win for Life, since he won it’s top prize.

Weera scanned his $2 ticket and saw the confetti explode on the screen, knowing he had won something big! But it wasn’t until he made the trip to Salem that he realized the life changing total he had won. With his $52,000 per year, Weera is going to pay off debt and invest in a fund for his daughter’s future college education. Now that’s a winning recipe!
