Unclaimed Idaho Lottery prizes add up to millionsReply
I myself have given away a few tickets between $600 and $1000 to local Idaho residents because to me it was not worth the tax hassle to claim small prizes. I'm from Utah so maybe their are alot of small prizes that go unclaimed for the same reason that they were won by people living in Utah. One lady was able to fix her car with a couple of tickets I gave her so it felt like the right thing to do. With 3 non-lottery states (Nevada, Wyoming, Utah) surrounding Idaho I'm sure they get alot of out o

Powerball ticket price to increase to $3 in IdahoReply
From the OP; The Idaho Lottery announced on Wednesday that it will be raising the Powerball ticket price to $3 per play beginning this August, by mandating that every ticket sold will include the Power Play multiplier option. /////////////////////////////////////////////// Mandating the Power Play multiplier option? Some lawyers are probably chomping at the bit to get at that one! It's going to cost Idaho way more in the long run than the extra one dollars from the mandate could p

UK National Lottery sees sales dip due to growing economic uncertaintyReply
That's a good question. I thought that was a done deal as of August 2021 but I don't recall hearing anything else about it. If you remember there were some lawmakers in Idaho threatening to pull out of the Powerball group of states because the UK and Australia were being added. For some weird reason they apparently thought China was being added also, even thou no one had mentioned China. After some push back from voters, in Feb. 2022 Idaho reconsidered and decided to remain a Powerball state. So

Powerball ticket price to increase to $3 in IdahoReply
* Pretty cavalier considering Idaho wanted to bail on PB just this year when they found out PB was thinking of expanding to include countries abroad. * So if you only have $2.00, you can't buy a ticket? Gee even car dealerships are willing to negotiate on price- Idaho says No?

Powerball ticket price to increase to $3 in IdahoReply
It (Powerball) has been Idaho's favorite game since we helped establish it with twelve other lotteries nearly 30 years ago. After nearly a decade of continued success since the last change to the game, the time was right for the Powerball Game Group and the Idaho Lottery to introduce these game enhancements. Don't know which game is the favorite game in every lottery jurisdiction, but doubt any of those games would remain the favorite by raising the ticket prices by 50%. I hope no other lot
