Yes — Oregon scratch-its and Oregon scratch-offs are the same thing: a paper lottery ticket you scratch to reveal whether it wins. The Oregon Lottery lists them under "Scratch-its" on its own site. "Scratch-Its" is simply what most players in Oregon call them, while "scratch-off" and "scratch ticket" are the terms used in other states. Every game ranked on this page is the same physical ticket, whichever name you use for it.

Phoenix Crossword, a $20 Oregon scratch-off, was released on May 8, 2025 by the Oregon Lottery.
