Idaho Cash is a game that's exclusive to the Gem State. Lottery fans have a shot at winning a rolling jackpot that starts at $20,000 and continues growing until someone takes it home - the jackpot is usually a lot higher than $20,000! Tickets cost $1, and each ticket includes two plays. The chances of winning any prize are 1 in 5.7, or roughly 1 in 2.9 if we're counting both lines on your ticket. Those are great odds!
Idaho Cash draws are held every night at 8:00 PM (MT); pick up your tickets by 7:55 PM to play that evening's draw. To check the latest Idaho Cash numbers, head over to the Idaho Cash Winning Numbers page.
Use the table below to check the different prize tiers available in Idaho Cash, along with the odds of winning each prize.
The jackpot can be won by matching all five numbers, and is paid out as a one-off cash payment. If there are multiple winners, the jackpot will be divided evenly among the winning tickets.

Choose your favorite five numbers from 1 to 45, or mark Quick Pick on the playslip and the lottery terminal will randomly select your numbers.
To play your lucky numbers for multiple draws, mark the number of draws you want to enter in the Multi-Draw area. You can play up to 35 draws in a row using a single playslip.
Once you’ve made your selections, be sure to buy your tickets before the 7:55 PM MT cut-off, then all that's left to do is wait for the next draw.

If you're a believer in fate, random chance, blind luck, whatever you call it - why not give our Idaho Cash Number Generator a go? It's like a Quick Pick but better, since you can change your numbers or roll some new ones if you aren't a fan of the first line you get.
On the other hand, you can use our Idaho Cash Statistics page to predict the next numbers mathematically! We record all kinds of lottery data thanks to our extensive Idaho Cash Database[MD5.1], and we've used this to bring you the most and least common numbers, overdue numbers, and much more!
