Remember that classic little part of the traditional holiday poem, Twas The Night Before Christmas, by Clement Clark Moore?

Manuel Mendoza of Portland has probably heard the poem before, and although his stocking wasn’t hanging from the fireplace mantle, he ended up with a great stocking stuffer to get the holiday season going.

Manuel uncovered two $300 prize amounts on his Oregon Lottery Stocking Stuffer Scratch-itSM ticket. When he also uncovered a “stocking” symbol, his prize was tripled to $900, the top prize in the popular Oregon Lottery holiday Scratch-itSM!

Manuel says Christmas shopping was at the top of his list of things to do with his prize money. As he left with his prize check and complimentary photo, Manuel was reminded to visit oregonlottery.org for a chance to win a holiday prize and to discover all the other great Oregon Lottery® holiday Scratch-itSM games available to play and to provide a special “stocking stuffer” for someone special.
