BOISE -Matt Bartoschek, 23, Payette, scratched his way to a new JEEP Wrangler Monday in Payette. He purchased his winning ticket from Minit Market. 

Bartoschek says he plays scratch occassionally. "The Idaho Roadtrip ticket just seemed to jump out at me," he remarked. "At first I didnt believe it. I showed all my friends and they didnt believe it either. I told them there are six more winning JEEP Wrangler tickets out there."

Idaho Roadtrip went on sale the beginning of August. Players just scratch sites across the state of Idaho marked on the scratch ticket. If any of the numbers they uncover match the route numbers, they win the prize shown. If the prize is the jeep symbol, they win a JEEP Wrangler instantly! 7 lucky people will win a JEEP Wrangler on the scratch ticket.

"This was a great way to feature our state on a scratch ticket while giving our players a chance to win a great new vehicle," Idaho Lottery Director Bob Ginkel said. "Players who havent played the Idaho Lottery before like to try the vehicle games and players who are familiar with our games like them too."

"I drive an old Ford and could use a new vehicle," Boverish said Tuesday when he picked up the JEEP Wrangler. "Im definitely keeping it." 

Dividends from the Idaho Lottery are returned to the state and are used to support Idahos public schools and buildings. In FY2000, the Idaho Lottery contributed $18 million dollars to Idaho public schools and buildings.
