Idaho Lottery to debut patriotic-themed draw game Lotto America on Sunday
The Idaho Lottery will introduce a new multi-million dollar jackpot game with a patriotic flare this Veteran’s Day Weekend.
Beginning Sunday morning, November 12, you can play the new $1 Lotto America game at all Idaho Lottery retail locations.
“We’re excited to bring our new Draw Game, Lotto America, with multi-million dollar jackpots to Idaho,” said Jeff Anderson, Idaho Lottery Director. “Lotto America fits perfectly into our product line-up between our Idaho-only jackpot draw games Weekly Grand and Idaho Cash and the big jackpot games like Powerball and Mega Millions. And best of all, for just a buck you can play for multi-million dollar prizes.”
The regular starting jackpot for Lotto America was intended to be $2 million; however, since there was no jackpot winner on the recently retired multi-state lottery game Hot Lotto, the initial starting jackpot for Lotto America has been enhanced with the transferred funds and will be a $15 million annuity.
Tickets for Lotto America are $1 each. For an additional $1 per play, Lotto America has a multiplier feature, All Star Bonus, that multiplies non-jackpot prizes by two to five times. In the game, players select and try to match five numbers from 1 to 52 and one Lotto America Star Ball numbered from 1 to 10. Players may also select the quick pick option and they may elect to play for as many as ten draws in advance.
The overall odds of winning any prize on Lotto America are about 1 in 9.63.
Draws for the game occur on Wednesday and Saturday evenings at 9:00 p.m. Mountain Time.
The first draw will be on Wednesday, November 15, 2017.
