Idaho Lottery’s Bucks for Books Program Awarded $105,000 in New Books to Idaho Elementary School Libraries

Director’s Corner

Dear Friends,

Holiday greetings from the Idaho Lottery.

We just put the finishing touches on our 2021 Do Good projects for our beneficiaries.

Scratch for Schools was a big success. The nearly 400 schools who participated this year received their $90,000 in prizes before the Thanksgiving break.

Bucks for Books evolved from an idea at Governor Little's first Capital for a Day in Emmett to the largest gift of books to elementary school libraries in its three years of existence. Along with the Idaho Commission for Libraries, we awarded 39 schools from McCammon to Kootenai nearly 7,000 new books worth a total of $105,000.

Sales continue to be remarkable, currently led by the quick sellout of 15th Idaho $1,000,000 Raffle. Always popular, this year the game sold out faster than any previous raffle - including the original one offered back in 2007. The drawing is set for December 29, 2021.

We welcome in the holiday season and the promise that a new year will bring.

It's a time to celebrate with family and friends for Christmas and the coming of a New Year. Team Lottery remains firm in our commitment to deliver our essential services by supporting our employees, retail partners, vendors, and our beneficiaries in a safe, secure, and responsible manner.

Here is wishing you a season of good tidings, prosperity, and a very happy holiday season.

Cheers,

During the Bucks for Books presentation to Centennial Elementary in Lewiston, a sweet, fifth grade student told the Idaho Lottery, “You wouldn’t believe my room. I have books everywhere. Under the bed, on all my shelves. I love to read. I’m in the library twice a day,” she said before adding, “When I grow up, I want to be a librarian.”

Centennial Elementary was one of 39 lucky elementary schools across Idaho who received new books and a big cash award the end of October and into November as part of the Idaho Lottery’s annual Bucks for Books program. Bucks for Books is a collaborative effort between the Idaho Lottery and the Idaho Commission for the Libraries to improve early education literacy. This year’s contribution to schools totaled $105,000.

“The Idaho Lottery was created to do good for public schools in the State of Idaho,” said Jeff Anderson, Idaho Lottery Director.

“Bucks for Books is another way we further our ‘Do Good’ mission by promoting early education and literacy among young learners.”

From Kootenai Elementary just north of Sandpoint to Driggs Elementary in eastern Idaho, this year's awardees shared a common theme - reading is important to improve every community.

The entire student body of Victory Charter School in Nampa welcomed the Lottery and cheered wildly for the new books. The heartwarming experience became more profound as Victory’s library is small, part of the cafeteria, and has many empty shelves.

The school simply lacks the resources to keep up with cost of purchasing new books.

The American Library Association recommends that an effective school library requires 15 - 20 books per student in a school’s collection, with an annual budget allocation of $12 - $15 per student each year to replace lost and damaged materials and to maintain a current, relevant collection.

In October, schools applied through the Idaho Commission for Libraries for Bucks for Books funds. Awards were determined in early October and ranged from $1,000 to $3,000.

The Idaho School for the Deaf and Blind in Gooding was one of this year's recipients.

They will be using their awards for digital books that allow students to read Braille electronically. The technology uses touch pad screens that raise up and down, and then swipe to the next page to facilitate reading.

Riverside Elementary in Blackfoot saw the Bucks for Books program as a way to

enhance their small budget and purchase new titles for their readers. “I am so excited,” said Lisa Page of Riverside Elementary, “I am a fairly new Librarian and we have some wonderful books but this provides the possibility to get new books.

And new books are expensive. So, when I

saw this program, I decided I’ve got to apply to see if I can get some more books in. I am just thrilled that we were able to get it.”

Over three years the Bucks for Books program has provided over $185,000 in elementary school library awards and books to seventy schools.

$390,000 WINNER! They are lucky people, and then there is Max kind of lucky. Max Pike, a journeyman construction worker from Springfield Missouri, proved the old adage that it only takes one ticket to win big.

Max Pike has been traveling all over the country working construction for 23 years. Three weeks ago, his work travels brought him to Idaho for a project in Canyon County.

After work, he stopped at the Stinker Store #60 in Caldwell and purchased lottery tickets. He normally plays Powerball and Mega Millions back home, but the nice clerk at the Stinker Station suggested he tried Lucky for Life.

“I’d never heard of it before but decided to buy one.” Remarked Max. “I probably wouldn’t have bought one if she hadn’t suggested it.”

That ONE ticket turned out to match all the numbers except the lucky ball and won $25,000 a year for life or the lump sum of $390,000. Max decided to take the lump sum.

After he discovered he had won, he shared the good news with his wife who thought he was one incredibly lucky man.

Max said he is going to pay off his house which will mean he might be able to travel less and spend more time at home.

Max is headed back to his home in Missouri in four weeks feeling very lucky to have worked in Idaho.
