If you’ve ever dreamed of waking up a millionaire, the Idaho Lottery might just be your ticket to that fantasy. With a wide range of games—from local favorites to nationwide jackpots—the thrill of chasing fortune is alive and well in the Gem State.
The Big Names Everyone Loves
Let’s start with the classics. Idaho players can jump into Powerball and Mega Millions, the two most recognized lottery games in the country. These jackpots can climb into the billions, like the jaw-dropping $1.27 billion Mega Millions win in California back in December 2024. Stories like that remind us why so many take a shot: one lucky ticket can change your life overnight.
But the excitement doesn’t stop there. Idaho also offers Lotto America, Lucky For Life, 5 Star Draw, Idaho Cash, plus the daily Pick 3 and Pick 4 games. Each one gives you a chance to snag some extra cash—whether you’re looking for a big jackpot or a quick daily win.
