Scratch Games

Scratch Games™

The Idaho Lottery’s original game format, Scratch Games™, enjoyed another popular year with players as 63 games were introduced in FY 2022. From the Frenzy Family of games to Happy Dance Cashword, Scratch Games remained the Idaho Lottery’s top entertainment choice as 126 players got to claim they won the lottery!

$10 Holiday Bonus (taxes paid)

For the first time in fourteen years, the Idaho Lottery introduced a $10, holiday-themed Scratch Game. The $10 Holiday Bonus (taxes paid) was the most compelling Scratch Game of the Christmas season. Players could unwrap prizes up to $100,000 with the Idaho Lottery paying the withholding taxes for the winners. The last top prize was gifted as a stocking stuffer on Christmas morning, ending the game after only 12 weeks and before New Year’s.

$10 Wizard of Oz

Idaho Lottery players were caught up in the tornado of cash prizes when they followed the yellow brick road to winning $100,000 on the Wizard of Oz Scratch Game in the spring of 2022. The game featured vintage images of Dorothy, the Lion, and the Tin Man set in the magical, Technicolor world of Oz. With a click of the ruby slippers, and saying there’s no place like home, this scene game’s 1939 classic film nostalgia made its way somewhere over the rainbow to become one of the fastest selling $10 Scratch Games of the year.

$5 Cabela’s Cash Cooler

The Idaho Lottery had big bucks in their crosshairs with the launch of the Cabela’s® Scratch game and InstaPlay game! Both games launched on March 7, 2022. Idahoans love living outdoors whether it’s hunting in the hills, fishing in the rivers, or camping in the forests; being outdoors is a way of life. The $5 Cabela’s® Cash Cooler Scratch game was a true celebration of Idaho’s outdoor spirit and came loaded cash prizes and $500 Cabela’s® gift cards.

$50 Mega Bucks

It was the biggest Scratch Game in Idaho Lottery history. The Idaho Lottery’s first ever $50 Scratch Game, Mega Bucks, arrived at lottery retail locations in mid-May. Mega Bucks offered something no other Idaho Lottery Scratch Game has ever offered before: two lump-sum prizes of $1,000,000 each, the single largest lump-sum prizes ever offered by the Idaho Lottery.
