From today Apple is offering Apple redemption codes to purchase the older OS X 10.7 Lion And OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion operating systems for $19.99 directly from the Apple online store.
Apple redemption codes for older versions of Apple’s operating systems have been available in the past but users were required to call Apple for copies of Lion. Apple explains a little more in their press release:

When Apple launched their new Os X Mavericks operating system earlier this week to many peoples astonishment they made a new OS X Mavericks operating system completely free for users to upgrade to. As well as making their iWorks and iLife software packages also free to upgrade to. Putting Microsoft in an awkward position charging for their latest Windows 8.1 update for users that haven’t already upgraded to Windows 8.
