A thousand dollars can make a big difference for any Idaho school. That is why the Idaho Lottery created the Love Your School program, where players get to be the hero for the school!

Using the Lottery’s VIP Club, players use their points in a sweepstakes drawing where they nominate their favorite school. At the end of each month, the Lottery selects one school at random for the $1000 award!

When it’s time to present the school with their winnings, the player is the hero and makes the presentation delivery with the Idaho Lottery!

That’s what happened for Trent Crawford at Lakeland Middle School in Rathdrum. He made the presentation to assistant principal Laura Spurway.

“My son attends the school and I really wanted to give something back for the positive experience. He is having this year,” said Crawford.

“Wow! This is really impactful for us. We planned to use these resources to help all of our students with supplies and other needs to make their middle school experience better,” said Schell.
