BOISE – Elaine Burger describes herself as a once in a while Lottery player. But she may begin to think differently now after playing the Idaho Lottery’s first $7 game, Super Lucky 7’s. Elaine Burger of Grangeville won the top prize of $77,777!

Like just about every Lottery player in the US, Elaine decided to stop in at Dino’s Sunset Mart in Grangeville last Wednesday to purchase a Powerball ticket that was then a mere $200 million. At the same time she decided to try this new $7 game, Super Lucky 7’s, “just ‘cuz,” she said. She took the game home, played it and realized almost immediately that if she didn’t win the Powerball game that evening she could live with that, because she was the $77,777 winner!

Elaine works at the Camas Café as one of the cooks. Naturally she had to find herself a relief cook, so that she could drive down to Boise on Thursday to collect her winnings. What was she going to do with all that new found money, “pay bills, go to the dentist, get new eyeglasses and put some money away for Christmas,” was Elaine’s very sensible answer. 

Super Lucky 7’s is the Idaho Lottery’s first $7 game. This game offers 17 different ways to win and 4 different games to play, including a Bonus Spot. This game is loaded with lots of $77 winners and its odds are great at 1:2.88!

Feeling a little lucky? Maybe now’s a good time to scratch. The Idaho Lottery benefiting Idaho public schools and buildings.
