Draw Games™

Jackpot games, in particular in-state jackpot games, continued their success throughout the balance of Fiscal Year 2021. Idaho’s favorite game, Powerball, continued to lead all games in sales and popularity. Powerball’s largest jackpot reached $731.1 million in January 2021. Throughout the year, sixteen Idaho Lottery Powerball players came just one number away from winning the jackpot, claiming prizes from $50,000 up to $1,000,000. Powerball accounted for 41% of all Draw Games sales (largest for any single game), 7% of all Idaho Lottery sales for the year, and nearly 20% of this year’s dividend. The surprise hit of the Fiscal Year was the fourteenth edition of the Idaho $1,000,000 Raffle which sold out in only 45 days, ending on December 4, 2020 – the earliest in the game’s history. With a $1.05 billion jackpot in January, Mega Millions recorded the single largest jackpot of the year and breached the billion-dollar mark for the third time in history. Mega Millions also had a half-billion-dollar jackpot run in the spring. During the year, the Idaho Lottery added two complementary games to its already robust collection of in-state and national jackpot Draw Games. Adding to the Lottery’s portfolio was the introduction of the twice-daily, sold in Idaho-only game Pick 4 in January 2021 and the regional Draw Game 2by2 in April. Pick 4 is a numbers game and plays similar to Pick 3, only with a fourth number. Pick 4 also offers the Sum it up! feature. Players can win up to $50,000 by matching four numbers and including Sum it up! One lucky player did just that early March 2021. The new regional daily draw game, 2by2 was added in April of 2021. This game has players select two red numbers from 1 to 26 and two white numbers from 1 to 26. Matching all four numbers wins $22,000. Players can double their winnings on Tuesday by purchasing a 7-day, multidraw ticket (one or more plays for seven consecutive days or multiples of seven consecutive days: 14, 21, 28 and 35 draws). This game quickly developed a following among players as three players won the jackpot prize. In April, Weekly Grand moved to daily draws. This game also recorded two jackpot winners, running its streak to nine consecutive years with at least one jackpot winner. As a collective group, the in-state Draw Games realized a sales increase of 28.4% for the year.
