Summary
- Idaho lottery participants might be holding an unclaimed $1,000,000 prize from the state lottery's winter raffle.
- A $1 million prize remains unclaimed, along with three prizes of $1,000 each.
- If the $1 million prize remains unclaimed, it will be only the third time such a prize has gone unawarded.
The Idaho Lottery is searching for several lucky winners who have not yet claimed their prizes from its winter $1,000,000 Raffle. In addition to the $1 million prize, three ticket holders with $1,000 prizes each still need to claim their winnings, and time is rapidly running out.
Prizes from the winter $1,000,000 Raffle are yet to be claimed
In Idaho, lottery players have 180 days from the draw date or the official conclusion of a game to claim their winnings with valid tickets. If they fail to do so, unclaimed prizes support Idaho's public schools and the Department of Administration's Permanent Building Fund, which assists university campuses and colleges. Each year, about $5 million in winning lottery tickets go unclaimed in Idaho. The holder of a winning $1 million ticket, numbered 063647, from the Idaho Lottery's $1,000,000 Raffle must claim their prize by 5 PM local time on Monday, June 30, 2025. This ticket was purchased at an Idaho Lottery retail location in Star. Moreover, three tickets, each with a $1,000 prize, numbered 061340, 083502, and 140188, remain unclaimed. They were sold in Rathdrum, Nampa, and Middleton, respectively. These three winning tickets were the result of daily drawings at the start of the $1,000,000 Raffle.
On two other occasions, prizes of $1m have gone unclaimed
If the $1 million raffle ticket remains unclaimed, it will be the third prize of this amount to go uncollected in the history of the Idaho Lottery. In Idaho, there have only been two other instances where $1 million prizes were unclaimed. The most recent case was in June 2012, when a $1 million winning Powerball ticket purchased at a Maverik Store in Meridian was not claimed within the allotted time. Prior to that, in 2010, another $1 million winning Powerball ticket bought in Irwin was also left uncollected, benefiting the Idaho Lottery's beneficiaries. As the deadline approaches, Idaho players should make it a priority to double-check their tickets since a pleasant surprise could be awaiting them.
