$1,000 A DAY GIVEAWAY!
Your player’s chance to get lucky is happening between Valentine’s Day and St. Patrick’s Day! Each day, every day, for 31 days between February 15 and March 17, the Idaho Lottery will be randomly awarding $1,000 to a lucky, Lucky for Life player. Here’s how it works. Let your players know they could win $1,000 instantly just by purchasing a Lucky for Life ticket. Each day, one random purchaser will receive a voucher instructing the player to contact the Lottery as the Daily $1,000 Winner! In addition to being the daily winner, players are still eligible to win the Lucky for Life jackpot prize of $1,000 a day, every day for the rest of their life. They could also win the second-tier prize of $25,000 a year every year for the rest of their life or many other prizes in the game. Be on the lookout for the winning vouchers. From February 15 to March 17, it’s a luckier version of Lucky for Life, the game where luck lasts a lifetime!
The first $1,000,000 winner from the Idaho Lottery’s $1,000,000 Raffle has claimed their prize. Alberto Vega from Heyburn bought his winning ticket from the Maverik in Burley near Interstate 84. “My family and I returned from vacation last night and I checked our Raffle tickets,” explained Alberto. “Most of them did not win. Then one said I had won. I checked the Lottery’s Instagram page and saw the big winning number matched my ticket!” Alberto then told his wife they had won one of the big prizes. She looked at the ticket, then Instagram, and her heart began to race. She couldn’t believe it. The long-time Magic Valley resident plans to put the winnings to good use for the future of his family and paying off his home. For selling the winning ticket, Maverik will receive a commission from the Idaho Lottery of $20,000.
The second $1,000,000 prize remains unclaimed. That winning ticket was sold in Ada County. The $10,000 winning ticket sold in Ada County has been claimed. Chad Gilmore from Eagle had his Raffle ticket in a collection of tickets he had purchased during the fall. A regular player, he visited the Lottery Offices in Boise one morning to check all his tickets. He was unaware one of his Raffle tickets had won $10,000 until it was scanned by Lottery Customer Service. “This is turning out to be a pretty great day! I had no idea I had one of the big winners,” he exclaimed. Gilmore purchased his winning ticket from the Jacksons on Ustick Road in Meridian. The second $10,000 winning ticket sold in Cassia County remains unclaimed. No one has contacted the Idaho Lottery regarding either of the two unclaimed prizes of $10,000 and $1,000,000.
