An Idaho Lottery player walked away with a nice weekend surprise after hitting the jackpot in Sunday’s Idaho Cash drawing on June 7.
The winning ticket matched all five numbers—12, 16, 21, 23, and 41—earning a total prize of $52,200, according to lottery officials.
Big win in the Malad area
The lucky ticket was sold at a retail location in Oneida County, around the Malad area. Officials didn’t release the exact store for security reasons. Once the prize is officially claimed, the location will be announced.
How the game works
Idaho Cash keeps things simple but exciting:
- Tickets cost $1 for two plays
- Pick 5 numbers from 1 to 45 (or use Quick Pick)
- Optional multi-draw play lets you stick with your numbers for up to 35 days
Prizes stack up like this:
- Match 5 numbers ? Jackpot
- Match 4 ? $200
- Match 3 ? $5
The odds of winning any prize are about 1 in 5.7, and the jackpot starts at $20,000, increasing daily until someone hits it.
Next drawing
Drawings happen every night at 8 p.m., with the next one scheduled for Monday, June 8.
Claiming winnings
Winners can claim prizes at any Idaho Lottery retailer. Non-residents need to either mail in their claim or visit the Idaho Lottery headquarters in Boise to collect winnings.
