BOISE, Idaho (KIFI) – Times Square on New Year’s Eve isn’t just the place to kiss for good luck and watch the ball drop at midnight. This year, for one lucky Idaho Lottery Powerball player, it could be the place where she wins $1,000,000.

“This is so exciting!” said Casady when she was informed that she was one of the national finalists. “I’ve only ever been to New York City once before, for work, a long time ago. Of course, I’d love to win the million dollars, but I’ve always loved New York. I am just happy to go back and be a part of the vibe of the city.”
Casady was one of 69,846 Idaho entrants who participated in the nationwide contest. She joins one winner from Georgia, New York, North Carolina, and Rhode Island as one of the five national finalists in New York City. One of these lucky winners will win $1,000,000 on New Year’s Day just after midnight, Eastern Time.
