Woman Misses Turn and Wins $28,000 Slingo Top Prize!!! 

(Boise, ID) Pam Ingram’s wrong turn proved to be the right move! Pam won $28,000 playing Slingo with the Idaho Lottery at Zip Trip in Lewiston. 

On her way home from work, Pam missed the turn into the Zip Trip she usually stops in to get a pack of cigarettes. So she went to the next Zip Trip down the road and bought her cigarettes and a few Idaho Lottery scratch tickets – one of which was the winning Slingo ticket worth $28,000! 

In the car with her son Josh, Pam scratched the Slingo ticket and sped through it as she saw all of the numbers falling into place. “I think I might win a lot of money, “ she remembers telling Josh just before she scratched the last number. 

When they went home, Josh excitedly announced the winning to Pam’s husband, “You better be glad she smokes!” 

Pam, a huge Seattle Mariner’s fan, is excited to spend part of her winnings on a trip to Seattle to see a game. The rest will go to bills.
