Weekly Grand is a state draw game. Matching 5 numbers wins ya a thousand bucks a week for a year.
There's also a second chance draw where a losing ticket wins $100 a month for a year.
However, there have been several second chance drawings where the winner was disqualified, but they did not draw a new winner, thereby saving themselves $5200 and decreasing what I thought was a guaranteed game payout. Glad I don't waste my money on this game. I'd be upset if I had my ticket in a second chance draw that wasn't even given away.
Is this the way other states do it too, or is Idaho just cheap?
