FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BOISE, Idaho – Time is quickly running out for the holder of an unclaimed $10,000 winning Idaho $1,000,000 Raffle ticket sold last fall. The winning ticket was sold from an Idaho Lottery retail location in Nampa. The winning ticket number is 079535.

"Time is of the essence for the holder of the ticket to come forward and claim their $10,000 prize," said Jeff Anderson, Idaho Lottery Director. "Players have 180 days to claim their prize after the draw occurs. That day is Monday, June 24, 2024. If no one has brought the ticket to Idaho Lottery offices in Boise for validation by 5:30 PM Mountain Time, the ticket will expire, and we will be unable to pay the claim."

This $10,000 winning ticket has generated little interest or inquiries from players.

"We remind our players frequently to check their tickets routinely for winners. Too many times we've seen players think they did not have a winning ticket because they did not win the top prize,” added Anderson. "This game had over 17,000 other prizes. In this case, this ticket is worth $10,000."

In addition to the $10,000 prize, there are four unclaimed daily $1,000 prizes from the Idaho $1,000,000 Raffle game that will expire on Monday, as well. Those winning tickets are:

052505
139317
152316
216890

If all the prizes go unclaimed, the winning amounts will ultimately benefit the Idaho Lottery's beneficiaries, the public schools and permanent buildings of Idaho.
