Anyone here an Idaho Scratch off player?
Idaho has the best rate of return for any scratch-off set of games in the nation. Currently, there is a $10 ticket called Blazin Bingo that is 99.62% sold out with a single $100,000.00 top prize out there.

I did look at it on the Idaho Lottery website and saw there was a spot to match a symbol for a win and wondered if that could be involved, perhaps someone forgetting to scratch it or just missing the match.

It's entirely possible that the last high dollar prize ticket was already purchased and for whatever reason hasn't been claimed yet. Idaho Lottery only has one physical location in the whole state, in Boise. If the winning ticket was purchased by someone living far away from HQ, then maybe they just put the ticket in a safe place and plan to claim it when they have time to drive all the way out to Boise. It's a similar situation in California. We have 10 claim centers, but they're not evenly spr
