You're right, topnail. Went to a dang Utahn. I believe the last 2 wildcard jackpots that sold in Idaho went to Utah winners.
BOISE, Idaho – For Jim Fowler, making the drive to Idaho once every five weeks is as much about getting chicken wings at the Chat & Chew in Malad as it is about playing the Idaho Lottery. That was until his traditional trip landed him the Wild Card jackpot from last Saturday night’s draw, winning him $349,561.
“I brag about their chicken wings. We get in the truck and drive up, and man, we get about 30 miles from Malad and I can smell the wings,” described Fowler on his regular trips to the Chat & Chew that he has been making for six years. “We have our chicken wings, get our Lottery tickets for the next five weeks, ten draws worth, then head back home.”
Fowler, from his home in West Jordan, Utah, said he was checking his numbers on the Idaho Lottery’s website late on Saturday night when he discovered his quick pick ticket had matched all the numbers and the Wild Card.
