Idaho Multi-State Lottery Game Information

There are four different multi-state games open to Idaho Lottery players - these are Powerball, Mega Millions, Lotto America, and MIllionaire for Life. However, there are some state-specific rules for Powerball that only apply in Idaho. Very quickly, these are:

From August 2021, the price of a Powerball play in Idaho increased to $3.00, and all tickets automatically include the Power Play multiplier for non-jackpot prizes. In other states, this is an optional extra.

As of February 2023, players in the Gem State can add Double Play to their Powerball tickets, for an additional $1, to be in with a chance of winning the $10,000,000 Double Play jackpot in the second drawing.

Biggest Lottery Winners

#1 - Powerball

$220,000,000

$220 Million won in Star

May 28, 2005

Brad Duke, from the city of Star, set a new state record for Idaho with this sensational win on Memorial Day weekend. After buying his ticket at Jackson’s Food Mart in Boise, he didn’t give it a second thought until a friend mentioned that someone in the area had won the jackpot. He was stunned to discover he held the lucky ticket, before deciding to take the cash option of $125 million. Duke said he would buy a new car, new bike and maybe build a house, although his main focus was on supporting family.

#2 - Mega Millions

$177,000,000

$177 Million won in Rathdrum

January 4, 2011

Splitting a $355 million jackpot with a ticket holder from Washington, Holly Lahti of Rathdrum became Idaho’s first Mega Millions winner. She opted to take the one-time cash option of $120 million before taxes, and was determined to remain as private as possible. Holly took her two daughters to live in California, went on vacation to Hawaii and invested the vast majority of her winnings.

#3 - Idaho Cash

$381,000

$381,000 won in Ada County

March 28, 2020

The biggest win in Idaho Cash came at a time when residents of the state were instructed to stay at home due to the Covid-19 outbreak. It was revealed that the lucky ticket was sold in Ada County, and the winner had to wait until the ID Lottery’s head office in Boise reopened. Previously, Fred Brcak from Meridian had held the Idaho Cash record with a $299,000 payout from June 2019.
