Being on as few government lists as possible is considered a good thing in this country.

Idaho should have player registration card, so players have the option to register, as players in NSW do. If you win a substantial prize, the lottery calls to let you know the good news, if you have not checked your ticket. If you lose you ticket, it enables you to prove the ticket was yours. If you win small prizes and forget to claim the prize, a check will be mailed to you if you have not collected the prize within a few weeks.

It is stories like this that give lottery players a bad name.

There is no excuse.

I used to throw the losing tickets until a few years ago. Not anymore. I put them in a manilla envelope until tax time in the hopes of some relief at tax time in some special business circumstances. In addition, there are some lotto tickets such as The Arizona Pick-the way the ticket was designed, one could easily throw away a ticket that is actually a winning ticket. That has almost happened to me several times in that game. So my advice is to hold onto those lost tickets for up to a year or mo... [ More ]

This is where a lottery debit card would come in handy. Register your name and add money. It would track the ticket buyer and find those lucky winners. Can't believe how many are unclaimed this year.

most of the time i think truck drivers passing through buying tickets and never come back to claim them for any amount of reasons, so i hope they do get their money.

i don't know why anyone would wait that long..

Nope, not me. Unfortunately I haven't bought a ticket in Meridian in over a decade. Actually, I guess that's fortunate because my tickets go into the recycling bin shortly after the drawing, so I wouldn't be able to re-check them anyway so in a way it's sorta good to know I didn't throw out a million dollar ticket.

Thanks for the tip RR, I did check my tater sack, but no ticket there either.

Everybody check your tater sacks to see if it's in there.

They all work in the tater fields out there and it mighta got dropped it in one of the tater sacks.

It could happen.

Oh no....this must be claimed before this date...Hey man! better look at your tickets now, review the numbers....

rock_nc — Thu, 13 Dec 2012 10:28:36 GMT

I just can't help but wonder what happen to that ticket! I keep all my tickets in a safe place, until after the drawing. Then I go and check them very carefully. I check them 2 to 3 times, make circles on the numbers I have, just to be sure. Wait until they do find that ticket and think hey let's check it to see if it's a winner, then find out it was. I would be sick to my stomach, and mad at myself too.

Perhaps this Idahoan on further review sees -$1 million dollars as small potatoes ..

The unlucky winner is suppose to be enjoying one million dollars but instead he will be picking up lots of idaho potatoes poor guy.

Idaho $1M Powerball ticket to expire Friday

Lottery Post — Thu, 13 Dec 2012 03:17:26 GMT

Time is quickly running out for the holder of an unclaimed $1 million Powerball ticket that was sold last summer.

The ticket will expire Friday at 3 p.m. if the holder does not arrive in Boise at Idaho Lottery Headquarters to claim their prize.

The winning ticket was sold for the June 20 Powerball draw from an Idaho Lottery retail location in Meridian. The ticket matched the first five numbers from that night's draw, but not the Powerball itself. The winning numbers for that night were 11,... [ More ]
