Pass “Go” and collect $200! Everyone who has played the famous board-game MONOPOLYTM knows this phrase. This May, the Idaho Lottery is going to live up to the phrase, and more, with the debut of the MONOPOLYTM family of Scratch Games. Players will have the chance to scratch the board game, and the iconic themes, for prizes up to $100,000! The MONOPOLYTM family includes a $2 and $5 game, plus a $10 Super ticket. The $2 and $5 versions of the game feature plenty of “red hotels” for players to corner the market. Players scratch the red hotels and hope to reveal either the FREE PARKING SPACE or the HAT symbols. And just like in the popular board game, when a player uncovers the FREE PARKING SPACE symbol, they win the cash prize shown. The HAT symbol doubles the prize shown. Both games feature Community Chest Bonus sections with instant prize amounts. The $2 game has a top prize of $10,000 with the $5 game boasting a top prize of $50,000.

The $10 Super Ticket edition features the traditional MONOPOLYTM game board and all the classic names players throughout the generations have loved to play – from the Reading Railroad and Electric Company to Park Place and Boardwalk. Players scratch the YOUR MOVES dice along with game board side to reveal street name spaces in the game board’s play area. When players collect all properties in one of the street name groups, they win the corresponding amount from the PRIZE LEGEND. Players can even win $25 if they collect the “Free Parking”, “Go to Jail”, and “In-Jail/Just Visiting” spaces! And yes, in the Super Ticket version, if a player gets a “Go” symbol, they advance to “Go” and can collect an actual $200 prize. Players might even feel like they’re playing MONOPOLYTM with real buildings when they get Park Place and Boardwalk to win the game’s top $100,000 prize. Tell your players to advance their “race car” or “old shoe” to your store in mid-May and start playing MONOPOLYTM!
One of the most popular and enduring board games of all time, MONOPOLYTM was created in 1935 and the street names in the game are based on real-life streets in Atlantic City, New Jersey!
BIG WINNERS AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!
N FRIENDS AND FAMILY WI ALL! RB WE $150,000 PLAYING PO
It took 23 years, but Nicci Varney and the members of her friend and family group finally won big playing Powerball! Collectively the group claimed a $150,000 prize in April. The group has been playing Powerball since they all worked together in 2000. Nicci purchases the groups' five-week QuickPick at K-C Oil in Malad and for more than two decades, they have never missed a single draw. Each of the five winners claimed their share of the prize, splitting $150,000 into $30,000 each. The five winners were Nicci Varney, Trudy Waters, Dave Haynes, Roger Damptz, and Colleen Hawkins. Nicci and Colleen both said they plan to spoil their grandchildren with their winnings, once they return from a trip to Australia together. A trip that has been a bucket list for the two for many years. Dave plans to use his winnings when he hosts his annual summer reunion, an event with 80 family members that features a rented swimming pool and an amazing, homemade, potluck supper! “It’s going to be extra special this year with these winnings,” said Dave. Although big winners, the group continues to play and hopes to someday win the jackpot!
