What city is luckiest when it comes to Megabucks?
By PARIS ACHEN
Capital Bureau
PORTLAND — In the
past five years, 24 tickets
have won the Oregon’s Game
Megabucks grand prize. In
some cases, winners had to
share the $1 million or greater
grand prize.
People who bought tickets
in Jackson County had the best
luck, according to a review
by the Pamplin/EO Capital
Bureau of addresses where
winning tickets were sold in
the past five years.
Quick Pick tickets — in
which numbers are randomly
generated by a computer at
the store — were more likely
to win than when players
selected their own numbers.
Only five out of 42 winners in
the past five years had manu-
ally selected numbers. Three
were unknown, and the other
37 were Quick Pick tickets.
A majority of winners
— 25 — bought tickets
outside of the Portland metro
area. Only 17 tickets in that
five-year period were sold at
stores in the Portland metro
area, including Portland,
Milwaukie, Beaverton and
Sherwood.
In the metro area, Port-
land — the state’s population
center — unsurprisingly
had the greatest number of
winning tickets — nine in
those five years. Beaverton
had four, Milwaukie, two, and
Sherwood, two.
Salem, the state’s second
largest city, had five winners
— one each year.
Eugene — the state’s third
largest city — had no winners
during that five-year period,
though neighboring Spring-
field had one.
Interestingly, 2014 was a
lucky year for Jackson County.
That year, only tickets sold at
two separate stores in Medford
and at the Albertsons in
Ashland won the grand prize.
In the five-year period,
Albany, Prineville, Boardman,
Bend, Warrenton, Coburg and
Sandy had one winner apiece.
The last winning tickets
were sold at a Plaid Pantry at
North Going in Portland and at
the Sandy Liquor Store. Those
winners split the $9 million
grand prize.
Groups question police
shooting at homeless shelter
By STEVEN DUBOIS
and GILLIAN FLACCUS
Associated Press
PORTLAND — Groups
and family members are
raising
questions
about
whether officers resorted to
deadly force too quickly when
they shot and killed a man
inside a Portland, Oregon,
homeless shelter who was
wanted for a carjacking.
Bystander video posted on
social media shows officers
firing rounds not long after
entering the shelter with guns
drawn Saturday. Witnesses
said the suspect had a knife.
The video shows him across
the room from officers before
he appears to move closer to
them, though it’s not clear
why and a barrier partially
obscures the view.
“In less than a minute,
officers shoot and kill the
man, while members of an
already traumatized popu-
lation, Portland’s homeless
community, watch in horror,”
David Rogers, executive
director of the American Civil
Liberties Union of Oregon,
said in a statement Sunday
night. “Was there any attempt
to de-escalate the situation
before officers open fire inside
the homeless shelter full of
innocent bystanders? If not,
why not?”
Portland is among the West
Coast cities struggling to cope
with a rising tide of homeless-
ness, and its police agency
has been criticized for fatal
shootings and other deaths at
the hands of officers. A 2012
government
investigation
found that officers engaged
in a pattern of excessive
force against people who are
mentally ill.
A few people on Monday
chatted on the sidewalk
outside the shelter near a
memorial of roses, candles
and a photo that had been set
up for the man with no known
connection to the facility.
David Abbs, who is home-
less and was inside the shelter
during the shooting, said the
man entered a common-room
area wearing no shirt or jacket.
He riffled through a dona-
tion bin, put on a jacket and
went back outside, said Abbs,
who stays at the shelter and
did not recognize the man.
When he returned, he was
holding a knife, he said.
The man peered anxiously
through the window and then
cut his throat and one wrist
with the knife, said Abbs, 63,
although he does not recall
seeing any blood.
“He said, ‘Stay away’ and
he was looking outside,” he
said.
“I looked by the door and
there were two cops standing
there with their bean bag guns
and (they) shot him twice and
knocked him down.”
The man got up and ran to
the back of the room, near the
entrance to the shelter kitchen,
Abbs said.
About 10 more officers
then rushed into the shelter
with a police dog. Abbs could
no longer see because he uses
a wheelchair and the officers
blocked his view, but he heard
eight gunshots.
“One of the cops told me I
should come outside,” he said.
“They told me to go outside.”
Police have not identified
the man, but David Elifritz
told The Oregonian/Oregon-
Live that it was his brother,
48-year-old John Elifritz.
Northeast Portland resident
Tarver Hannant, an amputee
whom months earlier Willa-
mette Week had profiled for a
story on the high cost of health
care, was one of those two
winners.
He opted for a one-time
cash payment and received
about $1.5 million of the
$4.5 million after taxes were
subtracted.
That was the third time in
2017 a Plaid Pantry store in
the Portland metro area has
sold a Lottery ticket worth $1
million or more, according to
a news release at the time by
the Lottery. The news release
stated that a Plaid Pantry in
Clackamas sold a winning
$1 million Raffle ticket, and
in May, a Portland store near
Oregon Health & Science
University Hospital from the
Beaverton-based convenience
store chain sold a $1 million
Powerball ticket.
Megabucks
drawings
are held every Monday,
Wednesday and Saturday at
7:29 p.m. The Lottery draws
six numbers from a set of
48. Players get two sets of
numbers for each $1 they
play. Winners have one year to
claim their prizes.
Megabucks is one of
several games the Lottery has
offered since it started in 1985.
The Lottery has paid out $28
billion in prizes since then. It
also is the state’s second largest
source of revenue after income
taxes and has contributed
more than $9 billion toward
public education, economic
development, state parks and
watershed projects.
