They say that money can’t buy happiness, but instantly finding enough money to buy a new home, pay off your car or send your child to college can certainly make things easier! 

Each time you check out at the grocery store, you’re present with the option to get “cash back” when you pay with your credit card.

Right now, there are 18 games that have top prizes of anywhere from $50,000 to $1,000,000 at retailers around the state!

Believe it or not, finding these top prizes is much easier than you think!

That information is something that the Idaho Lottery makes readily available to the players through their website and app. Even better? According to our friend David at the Idaho Lottery, they do remove scratch games from retailers once the last top prize has been claimed at the office in Boise. That means if the website says you still have a chance at one of these life changing prizes, you really do have the opportunity to find it!
