A newly launched lottery scratch ticket in Oregon features a cavalcade of the state's most famous cryptids. The game was reportedly released earlier this month by Oregon Lottery as a celebration of the various legendary creatures that "live in our state's most dark and remote corners." To that end, the scratch ticket showcases not only the cryptid most closely associated with the region, Bigfoot, but also Dogman, a pair of infamous lake monsters, and an additional aquatic cryptid known simply as Colossal Claude.
Selling for $5 each, the scratch ticket boasts a top prize of $30,000 payout for anyone lucky enough to match all five winning numbers. Beyond being an opportunity to win big bucks, perhaps the coolest aspect of the game is that the backside sports a short profile of each of the five 'Oregon Monsters' featured on the front. The chances of pocketing some kind of cash prize by way of the scratch ticket are far better than your average Bigfoot hunt as the Oregon Lottery indicates that the overall odds of winning are 1 in 3.51 plays.
