When people hear where the winning lottery ticket is sold they will go out of their way to drive there to buy a ticket.

Congratulations! I wish you well. This is the perfect opportunity to seek council on how to handle the money and just as important how to handle the people looking at the money that don't belong to them. Stay safe and happy new year

Stinker has more locations, and Jackson's has more than Stinker and Maverik put together. Very strange that most raffle tickets have been sold at Maverik.

Congratulations on your win Jacob! A cool million (or 1/2 that after taxes) is a fabulous way to start the year

Maverik gas stations are a large chain. They are all over the place here. In my town alone there are 3 and the next town over has one I believe.

His winning ticket was purchased from Maverik at Locust Grove and McMillan in Meridian. This is the fifth year out of the past six years where the top prize winning ticket in the Idaho $1,000,000 Raffle game has been sold at a Maverik location.

Hope this is large chain otherwise hmmmmm....

Includes video report

Last Saturday evening, Jacob Christopherson of Meridian, Idaho, had a self-described freak-out moment but in a good way. That's when Christopherson began checking his Idaho $1,000,000 Raffle tickets for winners. And he could not believe what he was seeing.

I had been buying tickets around the 25,000th tickets, trying to win one of the $1,000 prizes. I stopped in the Maverik by my mom's house and just bought one to see what the current ticket number was, Christopherso... [ More ]
