YOUR SENIOR CLASS OF 2026 🎓
They laughed. They won. They raised nearly $30 million for Idaho schools and public buildings.
One man’s trash was another man’s treasure…
Tim picked up a Cashword scratch ticket at Oasis Stop N Go in Twin Falls and thought it was a loser. He set it on top of the microwave and forgot all about it.
Luckily, his wife decided to give it a second look.
Turns out, it wasn’t a loser at all — it was worth $100,000! 💰
“I’ve been retired for six years, married to my amazing wife for 47 years, and the proud grandpa of four grandkids.”
The couple enjoys playing Idaho Lottery scratch tickets a few times a week, usually sticking to the $3–$10 games.
With their winnings, they plan to make some improvements around the house, pay off a credit card, and maybe even upgrade to a new pickup truck.
Congratulations, Tim! And a reminder to all Idaho players: always double-check those tickets…or let your spouse do it. 😉🍀
🦉 Ever heard of an owl pellet before?
It’s the part of an owl’s meal that can’t be digested. Think stuff like bones, fur, and other remains that get packed together and later expelled. Sounds gross. To a young scientist? It’s a treasure chest of discoveries.
Thanks to a $1,350.15 Idaho Lottery Classroom Wishlist grant, students at Farmin Stidwell Elementary in Sandpoint will soon be exploring Idaho’s Great Horned Owl through hands-on pellet dissections, skeleton models, and STEM activities that bring ecology to life.
Congratulations to Timothy Kerrigan and the Farmin Stidwell Outdoor Education Program for helping students uncover the mysteries hiding inside one of nature’s most fascinating science lessons. 🍀📚

📚 April Classroom Wishlist is in the books!
This month, more than $15,000 was awarded to Idaho classrooms, helping fund projects that will make a real difference for students from Weippe to Boise, St. Anthony to Priest River.
From forestry tools that prepare students for careers in Idaho’s natural resources industry, to a safe outdoor play space for preschoolers with special needs, to livestock training equipment, classroom books, and even life-saving AEDs, these projects reflect the diverse needs of Idaho schools and communities.
Every project tells a story. Every grant helps remove a barrier. Every dollar helps create new opportunities for Idaho students.
That’s what Classroom Wishlist is all about.
Congratulations to our April recipients, and thank you to Idaho players for helping put more resources directly into Idaho classrooms. 💙🍎

I started thinking about what I'd do with $331 million (me, the social media guy) and things got out of hand pretty quickly...
🌭 220 million Costco hot dogs ($1.50 each)
🏍️ 26,480 brand new Yamaha YZ450F dirt bikes (at that point, Idaho becomes one giant motocross track)
🎢 Silverwood. Not tickets. The whole thing.
🥔 The giant potato that dropped on New Year's Eve in 1997 (my birth year). I have no idea where it is, but with $331 million, I'm tracking it down.
🚤 A wake boat. Not because I know how to drive one, but because I think they look cool.
🌮 Enough tacos to solve most of my problems.
Then I'd probably do something responsible.
Probably.
What are YOU buying with $331 million?

Came for their daughter’s wedding…left with $50,000 💰❤️
A North Idaho couple was already in town celebrating love when one Friday Night Poker Scratch ticket turned the trip into something they’ll never forget.
“I turned over to her, checked it a few times, and just froze while she looked at me funny.”
Now, the winnings will help with wedding expenses, future family plans, and a few dreams they hadn’t planned on chasing quite this soon.
Cheers to the happy couple 💍
Cheers to the new in-laws ❤️
And cheers to one unforgettable wedding weekend filled with richer memories 🎉
