Dear Retailers,
The start of a new fiscal year brings with it the start of new opportunities for the Idaho Lottery and your business. We ended Fiscal Year 2025 on a strong note with an upswing in sales, largely in the Scratch category. We witnessed this trend at the start of the new year and look to keep the momentum going forward.
On July 15, the Chairman of our Commission, Craig Corbett, presented Governor Little with a dividend check for $75 million. Our dividend presentation at the College of Western Idaho (CWI) showcased the good works completed by our colleagues at the Division of Public Works and the Permanent Building Fund Advisory Council. While most Idahoans know our dividends benefit public schools, equally as important is the contribution we make to support the State of Idaho’s permanently owned facilities. The CapEd Student Success Center that is currently under construction in Nampa on the campus of CWI served as the backdrop for us to focus on the important role these facilities have moving Idaho forward with a quality, skilled workforce.
Beyond collegiate campuses, the State also funds repair, alteration, and maintenance works on facilities across the Gem State. These include critical resources for places like the Department of Lands fire fighting facilities in Coeur d’Alene and St. Maries, or improvements to the Veterans Cemetery in Blackfoot where we honor those Idahoans who served our country.
As we look ahead, in mid-August we will be launching the Money Monster family of games. This unique series will offer a steadily growing jackpot through a second chance offer that will increase until Halloween night at midnight when one lucky player wins it. We hope to bring additional players – and some new ones - to your retail locations.
Happy Selling!
IDAHO LOTTERY GIVES BACK $75 MILLION
The Idaho Lottery celebrated 36 years of entertainment and games by showcasing their contributions to the State of Idaho’s Permanent Building Fund and the work done on college campuses. The Idaho Lottery’s announcement came during a ceremony in July at the College of Western Idaho as Governor Brad Little accepted the People of Idaho’s dividend check for $75 million.
This year’s $75 million dividend is the third largest in the Lottery’s 36-year history.
“Equally important, Lottery dividends provide critical resources for our infrastructure of state-owned buildings, the bulk of those being on our college campuses,” said Brad Little, Idaho Governor. “Lottery dividends also are paying down the voter-approved bonds and levies on public school facilities at a record pace, reducing taxpayer burdens to provide quality education for our youth.”
After a change by the Idaho Legislature in 2024, Idaho Lottery dividends are used by school districts to provide property tax relief by paying down voter-approved bonds and levies. In addition, three-eighths of the dividend is used by the Department of Administration’s Permanent Building Fund to complete maintenance, alteration and repair, and capital projects on the State’s permanent facilities.
Fund and in real world examples like the new CapEd Student Success Center now being constructed on the CWI Campus.” Governor Little and Idaho Lottery Commission Chairman Craig Corbett awarded Idaho Superintendent of Public Instruction Debbie Critchfield and the Department of Education a check for $46,875,000.
“Today's dividend announcement, and this past year's achievements during a difficult, but improving economy, are the result of smart work from a dedicated team of professionals at the Idaho Lottery," said Andrew Arulanandam, Idaho Lottery Director. “The result of our efforts can be seen in the work done by the Division of Public Works and the Permanent Building
"Lottery dividends facilitate an important investment in the integrity and safety of the facilities that our students and staff use daily," said Superintendent of Public Instruction Debbie Critchfield. "The direct impact that these improvements can make on the experiences that students and staff have in our schools cannot be understated, and we're grateful to the Idaho Lottery Commission for making this contribution possible for our communities."
On behalf of the Department of Administration and Director Steve Bailey, Dale Reynolds, Director of the Department’s Division of Public Works, received a check worth $28,125,000 from Governor Little and Commissioner Corbett.
MILLIONAIRE MAKER WON IN NAMPA
The final Millionaire Maker scratch game top prize was claimed from a ticket sold at Big Smoke in Nampa on Franklin.
The winners who claimed the ticket were Breezy Legs, LLC from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. These players who engage in Lotto Tourism made a summer trip to Idaho to find and play the game. In the state for a couple of weeks, the team of four visited every corner of Idaho looking for available tickets.
“We love Idaho and the Idaho Lottery. The state is so beautiful and everyone is really friendly,” said one of the members.
The team visited 31 towns in Idaho, from St. Anthony to Malad, Twin Falls to Payette and McCall to Sandpoint. “All the store clerks everywhere are always helpful. Hands down, Idaho has the best stores for Lottery,” they said.
For selling the winning ticket, Big Smoke received a bonus of $20,000.
LONG HAUL TRUCKER WINS $300,000
Long haul trucker Davinderjit Khabra, from Elk Grove, California, was passing through Idaho when he pulled into the Pilot Truck Stop in Mountain Home. He purchased a $30 Wealth and Riches Scratch ticket and won the first top prize on the game of $300,000!
Welcome to Idaho.
According to Khabra, as he traveled across the country, he had routinely played the Lottery in other states. But he had not won anything as big as this prize.
Khabra said he was considering one or two big purchases with his winnings, possibly both. He was thinking of buying a house or buying his own semi-truck.
BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS
For selling the winning ticket, Pilot received a bonus from the Idaho Lottery for $20,000.
Davinderjit Wins $300,000 on Wealth and Riches
Tucked into a hill on the western edge of St Marie’s is the Idaho Department of Lands newly constructed St. Joe Area Field Office. The new facility was built through the project management of the Division of Public Works in the Department of Administration and funding from the State of Idaho’s Permanent Building Fund. By early July, this district had already responded to 22 fires. Only one had been caused by lightning. The rest were human caused.
The work done by the Division of Public Works is done in conjunction with the State of Idaho’s Permanent Building Fund and their Advisory Council. The Idaho Lottery contributes 3/8 of its annual dividend to the Permanent Building Fund every year.
The bulk of the state’s permanent facilities are on the Gem States collegiate campuses. Annually, the Permanent Building Fund Advisory Council tours state facilities and campuses across the state to see the current work underway and assess future needs for facility improvements and
