The Idaho Lottery is a player’s Lottery, a winner’s Lottery and the people’s Lottery. Every time someone plays the Idaho Lottery, someone, somewhere is always winning – players, retailers, and Idaho’s public schools and buildings. The Idaho Lottery was created in 1988 by the people of Idaho for the benefit of Idaho’s Public Schools and the State’s Permanent Buildings, places like Idaho’s public colleges and universities. When you play Idaho’s Lottery, you can be assured you’re playing games with the highest degree of security and integrity. Every day of the year, we offer entertaining games for everyone — from the big, multi-million-dollar jackpot games like Powerball and Mega Millions to Scratch GamesTM with top prizes starting at $500. And just like in the beginning of the Idaho Lottery, you can play our games and win big for just a buck or two. Last, but not least, we embrace the phenomenon of “wooh”. The optimism, the fun, the joy. We work to share this all across Idaho.
